Nope! the monitors are locked to stands, the base chained to the desk thank ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) , only keyboard, mouse, around 5 meters of cable and a very expensive prototype could go on the floor...

No problem at all with a wireless keyboard. If you are sitting in your recliner, keyboar in you lap, just turning your body a little bit to pick up your coffee cup (or beer glass) can be enough to make the keyboard slide off your lap and onto the floor.
For my home PC, I've got the screen standing on a table so small (little more than a pedestall) that the keyboard barely fits in front of it. When I raise from my recliner, I place the keyboard there. If I am placing it carelessly, it might slide off, either to the front or to the sides.
I am deeply impressed by a few classes of mechanical devices: One is in the days of mechanical watches, how they could make them with enough precision to drift only a few seconds a year. Another one is the construction of (wireless) mice and keyboards: My current mouse have probably fallen down to the stone floor a couple hundred times, and it still works flawlessly! I do not drop my keybard that often, and it usually falls on the wooden part of the floor, and it works perfectly. Maybe it is partly explained by me buying high quality keyboards that are not of the cheapest kind.

Now I have you! Have you been eating from my keyboard as well?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

I got a cat. Wanna imagine how it looked when I removed my keys for cleaning?

I had two long haired St.Bernhards for a few years. For at least three or four years after I lost them, I found balls of hairs under cabinets and carpets and behind bookshelves. So I would believe whatever you tell!

I didn't find balls, I found interwoven carpets. If it weren't for my allergy (which I got after my cats, life still writes the best stories), it wouldn't taken too much to use those carpets for something. Hey, some people pay heaps for real fur beds, I could have gotten mine for free'ish.

I used to brush my dogs regularly - both because the dogs loved the scratching from the rake, and to reduce the shedding. When we got the dogs, I had a daugther that truly loved them, and her dream was to have a knitted sweater made from their "wool". So we collected whatever we brushed off, in these 125 liter plastic bags commonly used in thrash cans. When the dogs died (at age 11 and 3 years), I had five packed 125 liter bags of wool from the two dogs. (By that time, I had lost my daughter several years earlier, and we never got around to find anyone that could spin the wool into yarn, so the wool went into the garbage.)

So I filled a bug (minor) report about VS 2017...
It was in May - last year...
Two days earlier Microsoft ringed me back - the bug has been fixed... In VS 2019...

You mean your bug became a feature in the new version. Wonderful..wonder what the chap doing the coding must have been thinking...

The only way that could have happened would be if your bug report was somehow related to a new icon, or easier theming in VS2019.

I'm pretty sure I saw that one, or a very similar one.
Was it by chance the Dataset visualizer not working in VS2017 with .Net Core projects?
|
|
|
|

It's good that Microsoft is addressing issues. I have a situation, not necessarily with Visual Studio, where reported bugs don't even change the status for five years, started by someone before me and I have been out of that job already, was just tracking.

Congrats. They've punted on my EFcore+Sqlite bug for 2 releases now despite having assessed it as a 1 day fix. The project it was an annoyance on has ended; but I still want to be able to show a Made M$ Fix Their Crap achievement next to the Made M$ Admit Its Crap is Buggy one someday.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Pretty sure I know the answer, but I just really don't like this week's theme so I don't quite fancy doing a clue...
If nobody has claimed it by noon, maybe I will take one for the team.

Which means ... you are up tomorrow!
Good luck keeping with the theme!
