This bug is fixed in the new editor (included in rhide 1.4.5 beta)

I've never noticed this. Perhaps some examples? (Check your system

Easy things first: is it in your project? :)
If not, is it a header? I used to have this problem, and to be honest
I can't remember how it was fixed. Try the beta version
(http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~sho/rho/rhide-beta.html)

This is kinda buggy though, I'd recommend getting the patched 1.4.5
beta version. This is available from a page I don't remember, but if
you visit SET's links page
(http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/6552/dlinks.htm - that
address I know by heart :)
you can find it somewhere in the "What's new" section

Check that the target in the options has not been changed somehow.

Nothing that they can do about that except remove the feature. It
changes it back to MS-DOS prompt after you quit, but if you happen to
kill it off using ctrl-alt-del or terminating without exiting, it
won't change it back. Just change the properties

Yeah, don't try debugging with 1.4.5, it sucks. It must be something
to do with the new gdb sources because the patched 1.4.5 is quite good
(which uses gdb 4.16 from the std. distribution, I believe) Like I
said above, get the address from SET's links.

You want something stable?! Try Linux :)
1.4 is stable, and the tab thing can be worked around by turning
optimal fill off. The patched 1.4.5 is stable as far as I have used
it. The 1.4.5 beta from Robert died regularly when debugging :(

If you don't want a full IDE, I suggest using SET's editor (which is
integrated in RHIDE but also available as a standalone from his page).
I use that and makefiles for all my projects now, and then use rhgdb
to debug the program.
