[Gambas-user] Code Editor - Cursor Tracking Problem

[Nigel Verity]

Hi

I run Linux Mint Debian Edition. The latest version of Gambas3 in the Debian/Mint repository is 3.1.1.

This version has an acknowledged bug whereby the cursor does not track correctly in the code editor. The more left/right/backspace keystrokes you use, the further out of step the cursor gets.

As a temporary solution to this I have been loading all my project's .class and .module files into the Geany editor, making my code changes then reloading them into Gambas. While this means I can continue to use Gambas it is very tedious, and I lose the special functionality which the built-in code editor provides.

In seeking a better solution, my questions are:

Is there a later Gambas binary which will run on Debian (LMDE)?

Does the cursor-tracking problem occur with all fonts, or is there a font I can use with which the problem does not occur?

Is there any way of linking an external editor, such as Geany, to Gambas so that I don't have to reload the project after every code change?

Thanks

Nige
