Weird hard to reproduce editor bugs

Post by EeOe »

Selecting and deleting text sometimes causes wierd bugs in the editor. These bugs are quite random and hard to reproduce, but with these instructions you should be able to reproduce one of them.

1. Compare file1 to to file2

File1:

Code: Select all

abcdefghijklmn
1234567 opqrstuvwxyzopqrstuvwxyz
1

dsfhdsfhuysdhfusdh
File2:

Code: Select all

abcdefghijklmn
opqrstuvwxyzopqrstuvwxyz

dhfhudsf
1

fdgfdgfdgdg
1
2. Then in file2 select (paint) line 4 ("dhfhudsf" line) and line 3 with your mouse.
Now here's the important part. When selecting the text pull the cursor from the end of line 4 and pull the cursor on top of the Selection Margin on front of line 3. (If you pull the pull the cursor exactly on the beginning of line 3 the bug wont occur)

3. Deleting the section should result drawing bugs on the editor window. But on similar cases it deletes more text than it should have (usually just one or two characters) or a random character may appear on the place of the selection.

Thank you! You are right, there is problem with deletion. If you will face other problems, please report them too - maybe I can understand and find the problem myself.

Will do, though I haven't seen any of these problems lately. Hopefully all of them had the same main cause and are now fixed along with this one. :)

Hello

There still is some rare cases where the editor acts funny. Unfortunately I can't reproduce the problems, but I did notice that sometimes when I click at the end of the line the caret jumps to beginning of the line.

The trick is to click at exactly the right postion, but this way you can reproduce this problem every time.
First click at the end of the line, then move the mouse cursor exactly on top of the blinking caret and click. Caret should jump at the beginning of the line.

Do you have "Virtual spaces" option on?

Yes, but I don't click at "virtual space area". I click at the position where the real line ends. I tried with virtual spaces off and this problem still occurs.
