Is there a way to stop the syntax editor "drag text by mouse" control?

[alon]

Hi.

Do you know if there is a way to stop the SPSS tendency to drag random parts
of the syntax to other locations (via the drag text by continuous left click
on the mouse) ?

I noticed it sometimes simply do it when I only want to highlight test and
run it, and it costs me a lot of work if I don't catch it in the right time.

 thanks,

Alon

I'm not sure of what you are doing.
If you are selecting and lose the left button press then that can happen.
I tend to select the first line of what I want, use the right window scroll
bar,
press shift and select the last line of desired code and hit run.
There is also Ctrl-Z to undo.
