"Format Selection" Bug

I am using dbForge Studio Express 3.0.248 and have found what seems to be a bug.

I have a large SELECT statement which contains some CASE statements. I selected a single CASE statement, then told dbForge Studio to 'Format Selection.' It formatted the current statement instead. It did this regardless of whether I used the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+K+F or the menu Edit | Advanced | Format Selection.

Let me know if you want screen shots.

We have planned to change this functionality in the next version 4.0 of dbForge Studio for SQL Server since there is a number of users that have referred to us on this issue for another our product dbForge SQL Complete where such behaviour has been changed already http://devart.uservoice.com/forums/8789 ... actually-s

You can try the new formatting in dbForge SQL Complete, v4.5 http://www.devart.com/dbforge/sql/sqlco ... nload.html

Yes, I see / have used that functionality. SQL Complete 4.5 has been great, works very well. I've been spending time in dbForge because I like the code outlining feature, which is not available to me in SSMS 2008 R2. I look forward to the next version of dbForge!
