in TheIDE, Whenever I delete a character, I have to visually check if the character has delete, otherwise, I retype the delete key.

after investigation, i found the solution here:


bool   TextCtrl::RemoveSelection() {
	int64 l, h;
	if(anchor < 0) return false;
	if(IsRectSelection())
		l = RemoveRectSelection();
	else {
		GetSelection(l, h);
		if(l == h) return false;     <--- Add this line
		Remove((int)l, int(h - l));
	}
	anchor = -1;
	Refresh();
	PlaceCaret(l);
	Action();
	return true;
}

when there is no selection, GetSelection set l and h to same value
then RemoveSelection() shall return false.

Adding the line

if(l == h) return false;

seem to resolve the problem.

omari.
