That's what debuggers are for... I also disable Caps Lock (actually, remap it to Left Control) to prevent that. You just change the keyboard definition on *nix... but more than likely you're on Windows, so I can't help you with that. |

Everything should be case sensitive! It keeps you on your toes! Also, there should be NO comments and whitespace should fuck everything up. Make it a pain in the ass to program anything!
Actually, I do prefer case sensitivity. Feels more consistent to me. |

I hate case insensitivity. More in file systems than programming languages, though. |

I thought about it, but it relates more to the IDE software itself than to programming.
BTW case insensitivity isn't a bug, it's a feature, and it's how all programming languages should work.  |

1) Case insensitivity... 
Shouldn't this be in Programming? |

Unless anyone has a better explanation.  I thought I'd post this for people to report bugs in VB, and of course for those who are just going nuts over these 'features' to figure out WTF is wrong.
1) Add a scrollbar (horizontal or vertical). Set it to Disabled. Now click the form or another control, then try to click the scrollbar again. It won't respond! Even if you select it from the controls list, it doesn't respond to anything until you run the app and close it.
2) Add a picturebox and give it a height of say 250. Now change the form's scale mode to Pixel and try to do that again. It's a different height! Changing the form's scale mode to Pixel makes the Pictureboxes use a different measurement (close to Pixel) for Height and Width. (Really annoying if you don't know about it. )
