[Gambas-devel] gb3 editor anomalies

[Kadaitcha Man]

Unfortunately I can't provide you with an example that reproduces
these problems because they occur in the IDE editor when editing code
and they appear to be random.

spurious1.png, spurious2.png, and spurious3.png all show extraneous
text that did not exist in the code until I pasted text elsewhere into
the editor. I am convinced that in all cases and without exception,
the Find/Replace window has been visible, as shown in spurious4.png,
however I cannot tie this issue down.

In spurious3.png, the code marked in red had a line exactly like those
two marked in blue. The code read like this:

Case mConst.QH_REPLYTO_MID

However some unknown action caused the above to be replaced with the
text shown in the image (spurious3.png). I did not make the changes
shown in any of the images. As I said, in all cases where this has
happened, the Find/Replace window has been visible. That is the only
thing I can point to as consistent with this issue occurring.

There are also other anomalies in the gb3 editor. I like to use the
vertical split view when tracing a code problem but I cannot use it
because the text in the lower half of the split view gets horribly
confused. It's as if there are hidden backspace characters in the text
so that when you cursor right, the insertion point goes left.

I have witnessed these behaviours in three clean installs of Ubuntu
9.10 with qt4 installed, and in Linux UE 2.5. As with the first
problem, I can offer no definitive examples to reproduce this issue.

Since I can't reproduce the problem this is a heads up for you to
alert you that something isn't right.
