Description lars 2002-12-13 01:30:25 UTC 
as an option :  have editing of text behave like in windows notepad.

I'm thinking of the word highlighting behaviour:  directly just as user does, 
without any twaddle of assumptions of what he would have liked done
Comment 1 lars 2002-12-13 01:35:24 UTC 
wait, i just don't get any problems;


but you should think about your letter (or character in a word) 
highlighting:

take font Thorndale and highlight letters -> only half of a letter is 
highlighted, sometimes. 1 and 1/2 is highlighted ... -> not good.

be exact.
Comment 2 lars 2002-12-13 01:43:18 UTC 
take letter f: 1/2
            g: 1 1/2

this is only a problem with other fonts: Arial: w


it's propably the problem of where the blinking cursor is, how far it 
is away from the highlighted part and how you handle spaces between 
directly-next-to-each-other-characters or the definition of the width 
of a character.
Comment 3 lars 2002-12-13 01:43:45 UTC
