Re: Jumping cursors

Thank you: 373 wonky results! Well, to be honest, I'm not going to wait for you and yours to sort that out; I shall use the list to help me avoid wonky Unicode addresses. On 1/5/17 1:07 pm, Mark Waddingham wrote: On 2017-01-05 11:01, Richmond Mathewson wrote: Ha, Ha, Ha: possibly the first ti

Re: Jumping cursors

0xFF001 appears to be an invalid unicode character, residing in the private use area. When I try > set the text of the selectedText to numToCodepoint(0xff001) The text is replaced by a character that LiveCode appears to think is RTL, and the cursor splits as it does when placed 'ahead' of an RTL ch

Hey-Ho: more fun with my endless Devawriter Pro (Grantha Samyuktaksharas for those who care about that sort of thing). So, I have a line of code that says this: set the text of the selectedText to numToCodePoint(0xFF001) and it does do what it is meant to do; i.e. pops character 0xFF001 at th
