| Cursor select behaviour; feature request [message #21858] |

When I put the cursor at, for example, the start of a word, hold shift and left-click on a new location, I would expect to select the text in between?
Apparently this is not TheIde's behaviour;
Feature require: add this behaviour
(to test, try gedit on linux or notepad on windows, or even any text field in any browser)

Hi, i have also a nvidia card on my laptop (not on AGP  ) but i'm not having any problem with text selection. Maybe an upgrade will solve your problem

An upgrade would probably mask the problem alright, but since it is not just a visual effect and it does not happen in other programs except TheIde, it still looks like a genuine bug to me. How to catch it, I don't know 
lspci -v reports: (this is an AGP card though)

Here I have performed the same 'place cursor', 'move mouse', 'shift+left-click' action on TheIde and gedit.
(jan: [edit]: it said 'shift+right-click here, but that was wrong, left-click gets this effect for me)

Hello, Jan.
In the first post on this topic you said about left mouse click instead of right mouse click. I guess, you think of EditField behaviour (CtrlLib/EditField.cpp):
void EditField::RightDown(Point p, dword keyflags)
{
keep_selection = true;
MenuBar::Execute(THISBACK(MenuBar));
SetFocus();
keep_selection = false;
}
The AssistEditor have LineEdit behaviour (CtrlLib/LineEdit.cpp):
void LineEdit::RightDown(Point p, dword flags)
{
mpos = GetMousePos(p);
SetWantFocus();
int l, h;
if(!GetSelection(l, h) || mpos < l || mpos >= h)
PlaceCaret(mpos, false);
MenuBar::Execute(WhenBar);
}
The fix maybe as follows (also for DocEdit):
void LineEdit::RightDown(Point p, dword flags)
{
mpos = GetMousePos(p);
MenuBar::Execute(WhenBar);
SetWantFocus();
int l, h;
if(!GetSelection(l, h) || mpos < l || mpos >= h)
PlaceCaret(mpos, false);
}

I did some debugging of theide in theide using the code-hits you gave me, Mirek:
void LineEdit::LeftDown(Point p, dword flags) {
mpos = GetMousePos(p);
int l, h;
if(GetSelection(l, h) && mpos >= l && mpos < h) {
selclick = true;
return;
}
PlaceCaret(mpos, flags & K_SHIFT);
SetWantFocus();
SetCapture();
}
here GetSelection return false for me, in GetSelection() anchor == -1.
(for the shift-left-click behind the selection)
This seems to fix my problem:
void LineEdit::LeftDown(Point p, dword flags) {
mpos = GetMousePos(p);
int l, h;
GetSelection(l, h);
if (mpos >= l) { // && mpos < h) {
selclick = true;
return;
}
PlaceCaret(mpos, flags & K_SHIFT);
SetWantFocus();
SetCapture();
}
because GetSelection() returns false sometimes and l = h = cursor happens then. I also had to chuck out the mpos < h check which would otherwise fail ofcourse
I don't know what other things this will break

Yep, that is correct. The 'if' branch detects click on selection, which is handled differently (can initiate drag&drop).
It is true that there should perhaps be another K_SHIFT check (with SHIFT, D&D should not start).
