Bug revisited: indenting with Tab deletes text marked with column selection

[Claus Pedersen]

I beleive this issue has been raised earlier, but I can not find it, so here we go again:

I have a text marked with column selection. When I use to indent the text, the text is deleted. Shift-Tab to unindent does not work either, nothing happpens. Using Ctrl-I/Ctrl-U works fine.

Another small bug/feature I would very much like to have fixed: When the user does something on a marked text (for instance presses Undo (Ctrl-Z) on a marked text, the marking disappears. This applies to both normal marking and column selection.

This is indeed a known problem. We're looking into it.

 

[Claus Pedersen]

When will this be fixed?

 

[Marco Kalter]

Probably 8.0.

 

[Claus Pedersen]

Probably 8.0

I believe that this bug must be fixed in version 8.0 at the latest. It is a quite annoying bug, which has been introduced in version 7, so it would be really nice if this could be fixed as soon as possible.

But I know you are already doing all you can to minimise the number of errors in the product, so keep up the good work

 

[Claus Pedersen]

Marco, what is the ETA of this bugfix?

 

[Marco Kalter]

I don't have an ETA yet, but it is on the to-do list for an 8.0.x patch release.

 

[Claus Pedersen]

Great, I will be waiting with anticipation

Marco, any news on this? I hope that x will be 1 in the equation above :grin:
