Jean - this sort of adjective "destroy", is a shame to apply to some
wonderful work that will really help millions to edit formulae in a more
simple and effective way - for which we should be extremely grateful to
Jonas. It distresses me to see developers criticised for introducing
some minor bug or regression along with a huge improvement: which this
work is (even if you don't appreciate the added function) :-)
The programming problem of fixing the cursor / selection is not a very
difficult one - however, if we apply (perhaps accidentally) harsh words
to the problem instead of encouraging and trying to help out: filing
bugs / updating the easy hacks wiki etc. as suggested: there is a danger
that we end up with no developer volunteers :-)
Anyhow - it seems like this change should be tractible even to a very
beginner coder; do you have a build you can play with - and perhaps you
can help be part of the solution ? :-) I can give you some code pointers
- indeed, I thought that I had addressed an issue like this as/when I
merged this. Grab me (mmeeks) on IRC and I'll help you get setup.
ATB,
Michael.
