Topic: Can't use contextual menu with non-persistent blocks (1 of 9), Read 25 times Conf: Basic editing, Block operations From: Manuel Diaz Date: Saturday, July 24, 2004 12:53 PM Hello, When using non-persistent blocks, on RMC the cursor moves to the mouse pointer and the text gets deselected which makes contextual menu unusable (for the original purpose). OTOH there's no problem if one uses shortcuts, toolbar or menu. I think it's rather uncommon in Windows-lore to have the cursor moved on RMC, is there any advantage to it? -- Best regards, M. Diaz

I agree. That seems to be a bug. >I think it's rather uncommon in Windows-lore to have the >cursor moved on RMC, is there any advantage to it? Some context menu entries are more intuitive/convenient then (IMHO): For example: - Delete char/block - Erase line - Open file/URL at cursor BTW: Ted: "Delete block" doesn't work via context menu! It always performs a "delete char" Christian

Still not working here. That may be dependent on a configuration option. I'll try to find out... Christian

Here it is: I've set {Config, Emulation, Special emulation mode} to 64: Mask 64 [DELETE] doesn't ever delete a marked (highlighted) block. Blocks can always be deleted with {BLOCK, Delete blocks}. That shows that the context menu command simply performs a [DELETE]. And so the behavior is understandable. Christian

If you use persistent blocks, then Vedit behaves the same as Word.

Yes, but the RMC should work even without persistent blocks. I consider it a bug and it will be fixed (in a few weeks). Ted.

I fixed this today; therefore it will work correctly in any .exe dated 01/07/2005 or later. It is surprising that no one reported this earlier; I guess most people use persistent blocks. Ted.
