[Gambas-devel] The new editor

[Ron Onstenk]

I want to tell my experience with the new editor.

1) Selecting text in the editor
  When I go to the firstline column 0 and drag the mouse DOWN
  for the lines to mark, the marked text is highlighted.
  Sometimes the marked highlight disappears NOT on mouse up.

  When I go to the lastlineline column 0 and drag the mouse UP
  for the lines to mark, the marked text is highlighted.
  Sometimes the marked highlight disappears STAY on mouse up.

  For me the safe way is drag mouse UP but by instinct you do DOWN.
  (upto .32 I had it, .33 cant say for 100% by using it to short) 

2) Double click on a word highlighted the word in the past.
  example text:
  Public Sub TextBox1_Click() 

  In the past double click on the character B did highlight 'TextBox1'
  and on character i highlight 'Click'
  Now it does not matter wich character i use, 'TextBox1_Click' is highlighted.
  Why this click? Well I want to use Find to see howmany times 'TextBox1'
  and where it is used to determine it makes sense to replace by more correct name
  and how much will change if done.
  I have to strip _Click

3) The completion.
  It is to aggressive for me.
  Also it tries to many times to help me by being smart and complete the
  word with more then is good.
 
  i.e. the name he looks up is 'pri'
  I have a variable/function printdata
  after 'pri' the 'printdata' comes up but not 'print' 
  Now I have two way to continue.
  Click on 'printdata' and backspace to 'print', add a dot . and the property Size I want.
  The completion makes 'printdata.Size'
  Or I stay type 'i' 'n' 't' and '.'  going on with 'S' and completion shows 'Size'
  accepting this and get?
  yes again 'printdata.Size'
  Is here priority for user declared names and then forget the component names at all?
  Also seen doubles with _Dim Varia as string_ and _varia="pipo"_
