This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

[severity:It's more difficult to complete my work]
When using the commands "Edit/Next Method" or "Edit/Previous Method", if there's a selection a caret appears on the method as normal, but the selection remains active, and moving with the arrow keys moves the caret back to the selection, and typing text types the first character on the selection, instead of on the caret besides the method.

Thanks for your feedback! In order for us to investigate this further, I need to confirm something with you could you please provide repro steps or some screenshots, a more detailed description of the faulty behavior and the actions you were taking when the issue appeared to help us better understand this scenario? What is the actual result and which result do you expect to happen? It would be very helpful if you could provide a sample solution that has this problem.

Sorry, I forgot to mention it’s for C# code. Having this C# code:

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
    }
}

Steps:
(1) Select the first word “class”.
(2) Execute the menu item “Edit -> Next Method”.
(3) Write any character.

Expected result after doing step 2:
The selection should be cleared, and the caret should move to the start of the “Main” method (right to the left of “static”).

Actual result after doing step 2:
The caret apparently moves to the correct place (at least the visual caret representation appears there), but the selection is not cleared.

Expected result after doing step 3:
The character should appear at the caret position, to the left of “static”.

Actual result after doing step 3:
The written character substitutes the selected text (“class”).

If instead of doing step 3 we press one of the keyboard arrow keys to move the caret, the caret returns to the selected text (“class”) and moves from there, instead of from the line the method is in.
