My font was "default unicode font". I switch to both "Courier New" and "Arial", and I am able to reproduce with both of those fonts.

You can also reproduce by using this line:

    <test name="Test_PUSCH_206_SOC_1UE_MaxRate_NoUCI_sp_idx_10MHz_2ANT_MONO_CELL_m8">

First put cursor after the final >, then quickly click on the LL in MONO_CELL, then keep moving left about 6 characters and click quickly. Cursor will not be placed where desired if you do this quickly. So only need to move the mouse left.

I tried this in a c++ source file and don't have the issue. I only have this issue in the xml file I provided (I did not try other xml files).

Try opening this XML file and changing the mode to Plain Text so there's no color coding.

Is there a way to change the mode for just this file? If so, how?

Or do I need to change the mode for all xml files in the Tools->Options

The issue goes away if I change the mode to "Plain text"

Try this:  Go to Tools > Options > Appearance > Colors, and change the setting for "Unknown XML Element" to be Normal text instead of Bold.  Do the same for the Block highlighting color.  In some proportional fonts, the text moves around when Block highlighting happens (because of the bold text).  You are probably clicking right before block highlighting kicks in.  Going further with the theory, you might be able to eliminate the problem by turning off Tools > Options > Editing > General > Highlight Matching Blocks.

If this is the problem, I'm not sure there's a fix, other than using a better-behaved Unicode font, such as Consolas.

That doesn't help.

I did not see "Unknown XML Element", but I do see "unknown tag name", so I changed that to normal from bold.

For block highlighting, I changed "block matching" to normal from bold.

Then I changed Tools > Options > Editing > General > Highlight Matching Blocks to off.

With all these changes, issue is still there.

I had this problem as well until I created a new config as suggested. Still happens with my ported v15 config, still good with the clean config...

I thought it may be a config issue.

I just uploaded my config to support.slickedit.com under "Re: RC2: Can't put cursor where I want in an xml file"

I think we replicated this.

Try turning off view line numbers.

When I turn off line numbers, the issue goes away.

Glad to hear you replicated the issue!
