Celierra Darling - 14/Jun/07 11:34 AM
An alternate method of fixing this would be to just copy the text immediately upon highlighting it. I can't think of any other reason to highlight the text (other than just to highlight it)
Oops - my suggestion doesn't take care of the case where something is in the process of being highlighted.
Older pain that's been around awhile, I'll link it up.
[Celierra: "An alternate method of fixing this would be to just copy the text immediately upon highlighting it."] Indeed, but it seems inevitable that the darn window scrolls JUST as I'm about to Ctrl+C ! In addition to the 'in the process of...' eventuality that you noted.
I didn't mean manually copy, I meant automatically upon finishing highlighting the text.
Workaround:
Scroll the history window up a bit, then highlight the text. That workaround doesn't seem to work for me as far as I remember.
The highlight failure seems to strike when stuff is added to the window, regardless of visibility or resultant scrolling, I think. A Linuxish copy-on-highlight feature would be absolutely awesome, though that still doesn't "fix" the bug, since highlighting what you want can/does take time. Ah, I see what you mean. When new text is entered, but window does not scroll, the highlighting indeed stops.
There are currently two issues: - when the chat history (technically a texteditor) was scrolled to the bottom, a cold (finished) selection was cleared/not maintained - a hot selection was always interrupted (cleared when scrolled to end or selection ended but remained when window was not scrolled to bottom) Patch Description: - when scrolled to end, a selection is maintained (source added part inside "if (was_scrolled)" ) - when a selection is hot, it will not be scrolled (was scrolled && !was_selecting) and the part which restores selection also restores the hot/cold state Test Cases (did work here): Observe behavior when new chat arrives and - window scrolled to end and selection cold - window scrolled to end and selection hot - window scrolled back somewhere and selection cold - window scrolled back somewhere and selection hot Extra patch note: Hunk will be off by about 15 lines ... I have removed two hunks of personal changes from the diff Excellent a patch already, I wanted to add this bug but found this thread via search.
This problem is so annoying attending tutorials and trying to capture the class notes, I have to get up and fly away from everyone just to be able to select the relevant text so I can CTL-C it. Either that or wait till I'm alone, but that risks losing the chat buffer in a crash. Lets hope Nicz patch is scooped up for inclusion soon. Good job Nicholaz. Yuo, you can test that patch in my viewer already. http://nicholaz-beresford.blogspot.com/ Wouldn't hurt if someone tested it in real life under heavy condition before it is included. FIXED in 1.18.3 Release Candidate viewer, an optional download. More info about what this means:
» http://blog.secondlife.com/2007/08/29/new-update-process-introducing-release-candidate-viewers The fix works a treat in 1.18.3 Release Candidate viewer! Thanks Nicholaz, and Linden vetting team!
The fix works perfectly well in the now-released version of the viewer too. Thanks Nicholaz! Closing this out.
Just wanted to say thanks for checking on your own issue and marking resolution, Coyote! :)
