Topic: Blocking text causes shifting (1 of 5), Read 52 times Conf: Basic editing, Block operations From: mark v Date: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 10:51 AM When I used vedit on W2K and blocked text, the text would just highlight. Now on XP, the highlighting extends before and past the text about 2-5 spaces with nothing in it. The text shifts to allow the extended highlighting. The extended highlighting is part of the block when I copy and past it.

The text shifts to allow the extended highlighting. The extended highlighting is part of the block when I copy and past it. As there are over a dozen ways to "block" text, you need to be much more specific - exactly what kind, method and size of block did you highlight. I have never seen a VEDIT difference between W2K and XP; therefore I think you have different configuration. You may want to invoke VEDIT with "vpw -g -ixxx" to force default configuration. Also, you did not mention what version of VEDIT this is. Only VEDIT 6.11 and 6.12 (now in beta) are supported. Ted.

This shifting does not always occur, but I attached a snippet of a file that causes this issue for me. If you open the file and go to row 6 column 25 and shift arrow right you will see this effect. Also if you go the the "end" of the line and shift arrow left, you also see an odd phenomenon. Using version 6.03. I notice that if the view font is ansi, the highlighting issue is more pronounced. If it's set to oem it's not as bad.

Sorry, but we have to limit our support to VEDIT 6.11 or 6.12 (beta). I cannot afford to examine problems with older versions, only to find that they have been fixed. Ted.

If this is not a feature it is at least a very nice bug, as it marks "inverse" end of block ;) Fritz (still using 6.11)
