Having been in development for a long time I've come across a lot of headscratching odd behaviour in code. Those issus have lead to a fair few conversations where people have looked at the odd behaviour and asked "is it a compiler/runtime bug?". And in all these years it never has been that sort of bug. But for the first time I have recently found a situation where some odd behaviour is C#'s fault...
So here's some info about the issue I saw this time, and what Microsoft are fixing as a result:
The other day I was working on some slides for a user group presentation when I hit an issue. PowerPoint's "random slide design" tool had thrown up a style I liked and wanted to reuse. But there were things it added to the slide I could not select. And hence I couldn't see a way to copy them so different slide types could share the same look. It took me a while to work out how to sort this, so it needs writing down so I can remember for next time...
