Bug using Ctrl+TAB?

Post by CyberBrain »

I've been looking through the forum, but could'nt find an answer to this:

I'm using Textpad 4.5.0 in Windows98SE

CTRL+TAB doesn't seem to allways work as ALT+TAB does... :(

When using Ctrl+TAB (which rulez!) it seems like textpad *sometimes* gets confused (specially happends after having run a tool - but only sometimes).

It normally goes to the document i've been looking at most recently (as it should).

But sometimes it instead jumps to a document i haven't looked at for like ages, instead of jumping to the most recent document. (<- WHICH IS *TOTALLY* ANNOYING, as i like having MANY files open at once)

Is this a bug or has CTRL+TAB some hidden features? How can it be fixed?

I've always presumed that Ctrl+Tab cycled through a stack of some sort. I don't know exactly how it is navigated, popped or pushed -- never needed to. I guess it's stored somewhere in the Windows Registry. If you find out the particulars, please post it here.

Hmm... I've been looking, but i couldn't find a place in the registry that seems to control the CTRL+TAB-behaviour (...ofcause this doesn't mean that there isn't any). However i don't see why it should be in the registry, cause if it was supposed to work like ALT+TAB, the order is not predefined - the order depends on the order the user has been looking at his/her text-files.

Maybe one of the TextPad-coders could give an answer to this problem? (is CTRL+TAB supposed to sometimes jump to text-files that haven't been looked at by the user in a long time? If so, what is the system? (the help file seems to suggest that CTRL+TAB should work in the same manner ALT+TAB))

Hmm... Hope someone will give an answer??

P.S: Maybe it's just my installation that fucks the CTRL+TAB-thing up? Has noone else experienced wierd behaviour?
