I dont believe it has anything to do with his system... The blitz ide is flaky for me on multiple machines. It has weird little quarks, like holding shift and hitting the left arrow to select something will sometimes result in just the cursor moving left. Sometimes if the window is inactive and you drag text over the window slightly from another window it will flake out and select random chunks of code. It is REALLY good practice to have clean code separated into include files that all have similar functions. I honestly dont understand how you work with everything in one large file. Whatever you are coding should be able to be broken up into files that all have similar functions. Say a user interface, graphics, ai, rendering whatever youre doing should be split up. Its especially easy to reuse functions and having modular code this way aswell. Ive also had problems >10k lines... and im on a dell workstation with more than enough specs. Its the ide... if you refuse to sort your code... do as Devil or Gabriel suggested and use a different ide.
