    Strange Line when Cursor changes from Pointer to Text Select - 4k Display (Dell U2718Q) on...


    Hi,


    Please see attached image. This appears to only happen in a web browser (IE, Edge, Firefox, doesn't matter, they all do it). When the mouse transitions from the "arrow pointer" to the "text select" cursor, a strange black line appears under the cursor.


    As one can see in the below image, the line is associated with the cursor, and NOT the text (e.g. this is NOT related to hyperlinks). This only occurs when using the 4k Display plugged-in via the Surface Dock using. It happen with an external mouse OR track pad.


    My Setup:

    Surface Laptop 13 inch, 16GB or RAM and 512 SSD.

    Surface Dock

    Mouse or Trackpad (Logitech G403, G703, Generic Microsoft USB mouse, plugged int via USB port OR surface dock)

    Dell U27Q18 4k display over displayport


    Drivers for mice, trackpads, and Dell U27Q18 have been uninstalled and reinstalled.

    vb.net select text from active cursor point in different window

    hello all - working on a dictation application and looking for some guidance as far as selecting text from a cursor point in a window outside of the applications form. I'll clarify a bit: The application types at the current cursor point using sendkeys() as you speak.. and I'm trying to handle commands such as "select word" which should select the word to the right of the current cursor point. I know how to handle selecting text within an application, but am looking to be pointed in the right direction for information on selecting text from say microsoft word etc. but keep in mind the goal for the application is to be universal for use within any EMR, word processor, web browser etc.

    Thanks for any assistance!
