Re: PDesk 0.8.5: Cannot move tasks/move in outline by keyboard

I actually sent *two* posts on this subject, of which the second one 
obviously got lost. 

It said that the problem is exactly the same on another machine 
running Win 98 SE and that it seems to relate to what another poster 
said that moving tasks in the outline or moving inside the outline at 
all works only after hitting the "view all" button in the toolbar. 
Well, for me that works only sometimes. Part of the problem seems to 
be that one's sitting inside one of the description/note etc. fields 
either without the cursor showing or without noticing it. I'm quite 
sure the cursor wasn't there in some cases. And it's hard to see 
whether the marked task in the tree is only "selected" (meaning: it's 
the one whose Details fields you are editing) or "active" (meaning: 
you can directly manipulate it by keystrokes). Probably not the 
correct wording, but you'll know what I mean.
So my suggestion to the developer(s): That should be distinguished 
optically, like the task only blue when you can move it around, 
otherwise grey.

But overall, the behaviour is erratic. It seems to be better with Beta 
7, which I downgraded to. With RC2 (0.8) it seems to be the same.

Regarding msvcr71.dll: it wasn't in system32, but in a subfolder. 
Don't know how it got there. Probably the installation of .NET 
framework 1.1 put it there.
