Notepad3: When selecting a group of text from left to right, cursor is off by one space...

[MelchiorGaspar]

I am have noticed this for a while now..
I am using: Notepad 3 (v5.19.507.1696_RC)(Portable)(DevBuild)(x64)

I have copies of older NP3 back to version: Notepad 3 (v5.19.226.1621)(Portable)(DevBuild)(x64)
it still occurs in this old version..

the cursor is on the left side of the final selected digit on the right end of the selected text..
is this intentional or is it a bug?

I'm running Windows 7 ULTIMATE (SP1)(X64)..
ask for any additional info needed..

I am not able to reproduce the described behavior (Win10, v1809) 🤔.
Neither with normal caret nor block-caret and not by choosing right-to-left (bidirectional technology).
Please provide your .ini-file (anonymity: remove file paths history, etc.)

really?! wow... I was sure this was gonna be an easy report...

edit:
I just tested NP3 with a fresh copy of ini... it doesn't happen.. so it seems to be an ini issue like the last one I reported... :-(

I also encountered this problem when upgrading and using and old ini file, it took me a little while to work out the cause, I fixed it by adding this to the Default Text Scheme | Caret settings:

ovrbar

[RaiKoHoff]

Bug introduced with feature "_remove key-value in settings, if it equals default_",
"ovrbar" should be default, so it should not be needed here ...

[MelchiorGaspar]

ooh cool so its something fixable..
I tried adding ovrbar to caret settings and it now works like it should.. thx for the info @jupester.

This line disappeared from my settings file when I added that...
Caret (Color, Size 1-3)=size:1

[RaiKoHoff]

Changed "ovrbar" to "ovrblck", (better description):
For the caret settings:

• empty: you get a "line" in insert mode and a "bar" in over-strike mode.
• "block": you get a "block" in insert mode and a "bar" in over-strike mode.
• "ovrblck": you get a "line" in insert mode and a "block" in over-strike mode.
• "block; ovrblck;": you get a "block" in insert mode and a "block" in over-strike mode.

The "ovrblck" only mode ("block" in over-strike mode) has the bug described in this issue, seemed to be a Scintilla problem 🤔 .

Please test beta version _5.19.512.1699_RC (see beta-channel access #1129).

[MelchiorGaspar]

ok it seems to be working normally now...
you can close this if that is all that needs to be done?

This is bug in Scintilla (not fixed at the moment) https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2106/

[MelchiorGaspar]

@zufuliu ok

[zufuliu]

This was fixed in Scintilla
https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2106/
https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/1924/

A new caret style CARETSTYLE_BLOCK_AFTER is added to allow draw block caret outside selection.

[RaiKoHoff]

Current Scintilla development (4.1.8) has been integrated in alpha/experimental development, feel free to test version Notepad3_5.19.628.2261_Oniguruma (for beta channel access, see #1129).
(Using Scintilla version 4.1.8 for upcoming release (master branch) will be discussed).

[MelchiorGaspar]

ok.. so this can be closed now I guess...
