Hello,

When inserting a new module variable, module variable is not being created where the cursor is but it is being created between the constructor and Run() method.

Thanks,

I could be wrong, but I believe this was an intended change in order to keep all module variables in an expected and consistent location.

My vote: I don't consider it a bug, but a helpful feature.

Hello,

At the moment a module variable is generated between the constructor and Run() method if the location of the cursor is outside a method. If the cursor is placed within a method the module variable will be created above the method. We will discuss if the issue internally.
Now we have two votes, some more are appreciated

This might be not a bug but it really doesn't work as user expects it to work.

Hello,

I have already added an entry in our bug tracking system.
We will analyze and discuss the behavior internally.
Thank you for reporting this issue.

My vote... let the user put the variables where they want, don't chose for them. If someone likes the new place, let them put the cursor there, if someone likes the old place, let them put the cursor there.

When you are creating a class, if you have variables that are used throughout the class, you generally put them at the top of the class, not between two different methods that may or may not use those variables.

My two cents

My suggestion would be to automatically create a #region for module variables in all code modules, just like is already done in the recordings, and put them there, if you the user wants to move them they can.

The problem with just putting them where the cursor is, is that the cursor may not be in an appropriate spot. Module variables should not be inside methods, for example, because by definition they belong in the class (module).

Hello,

Thank you!
We will discuss the different suggestions internally!
Thank you for your help.
