Hello,
Sorry about the noise.
By searching the keyboard shortcuts I found
'line selection mode',
which was mapped to CTRL-K, L.
AFAIK this combination was previously mapped (in my settings)
to 'select current line'. (to verify, I checked the settings
in 'joe', which is configured using the same keys as Lazarus...)
I seem to have activated this inadvertently after the update ?
Strange. Once more, sorry about the noise.
Always happens.
After you send a mail, you stumble on the solution of the problem...
Michael.

Hello,
I just updated my Lazarus - after quite some time (I was at 52983)
to the latest SVN version (54501).
It seems the editor behaviour regarding selection has changed.
In a *major* annoying way, I might add.
Before the update, if I stood at the start of a line, and did shift-down,
the first line would be selected, including newline.
Which is exactly what I wanted and what I always used:
shift-down to select a line, copy to clipboard and then paste somewhere.
After the update, when I do this, the first line is selected, and the second
line (where the cursor is after shift-down) as well.
With as a result that I can no longer select a single line with newline!!
Is this intentional and if so, can this new behaviour be reverted - or at
least
made optional ? it is *extremely* annoying, I have no words for it
(and if I had they would be really, really expletive).
It's IMHO also bad policy to change the behaviour of an editor in such a
major way without at least notifying people (as far as I can see, there is
nothing in the WIKI about this)
Michael.
