Description:
If I want to move with the right-cursor to the end of the line, it does
not stop there if I am to slow. It runs over the end of the line and
begins again at the first letter of the line.

How to repeat:
Press the right-Cursor.

Sorry but I don't understand what you meant. Can you show the issue
with a picture attached to this report ?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, this is a known problem. When moving the cursor with the arrow keys it should not automatically move to the next line if it is at the end of the current line but should continue to move to the right.

Mike,

I ment, that the cursor runs over the line, when there is only one line.

Eg. select * from test where 1, I usually have this written in one line, when moving to the 1, the cursors moves on and starts again at the s from select. 

There are now arguments against moving to the next line after the last letter of line 1, if the select-statement has two lines. Then it would be standard-IT-behaviour.

Raphael,

Yes, I know what you mean. That the cursor started on the same line again was only a special case of the general problem. Most source code editors allow the cursor to go past the end of a line and advance only to the next line with a special command (like Ctrl+Right arrow key). The implementation for QB is now exactly that.
