VB6 on a Win 10 laptop.

If I try to move more than one control on a form in the IDE
(by Ctrl-Click) the highlight disappears, when I then drag, they stay put until I release the mouse button, whereupon the snap to where the mouse was - a right 
PITA

The wierdest bit is that on showing the desktop all the highlights (the blue squares on the corners) are all on the desktop - and won't go away unless I restart 
the machine.

Sounds like a problem with the video card driver. Make sure you're up to 
date.

Try changing the compatibility mode setting for your VB6.exe shortcut to 
Windows Vista SP2.

I only use Win7, but try setting the "Disable desktop composition" property 
on VB6.exe, if that property is on Win10.
