Try to select it by dragging the mouse from start (left) to end (right). As soon as the mouse passes the last char, to select it too, the selection highlight disappears. Try to select it using the keyboard to define the region: Put the cursor before the `[' and hit `C-SPC'. Then use `C-e' to move the cursor past the `]'. No region highlighting. Try again, this time using `C-f' to advance across the text. As soon as you move past the `]', the region highlighting disappears. Users should have highlighting that shows them what text is selected - all of that text, including the last character. This is a regression from Emacs 24.3, where selection worked normally.

That is instead of Put the cursor before the `[' and hit `C-SPC' I do Put the cursor ON the `[' and hit `C-SPC' then I get the expected behavior. What is the purpose of highlighting outside of the edit field? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I should have said "put _point_ before..." or "put the cursor on...". > then I get the expected behavior. This is very weird. When I try now, I do not see the bug. Last night it was entirely reproducible, from emacs -Q. The behavior I saw was that selecting the entire text in the edit field unhighlighted the selection. IOW, selecting the last char in the field caused unhighlighting. No matter how I tried to select all of the text in the field, selecting the last char made the highlighting disappear. That was the bug I tried to report. For example, just double-clicking the `[', which selects the whole text `[next]', did not highlight the selection (perhaps it highlighted then unhighlighted it). The text was in fact selected, as I tested by yanking it. But the selection was not highlighted if it included the last char. > What is the purpose of highlighting outside of the edit field? To be clear, I never tried to select beyond the last char. I was only selecting all of the text in the field, _including_ the last char. For example, C-SPC followed by <right>... until the cursor moved past the last char, to select it. But as I say, for some reason I cannot repro the bug this morning. I will keep an eye out, to see if it happens again. But what is weird is that it was reproducible over and over last night, but not now. And I in fact still have an Emacs session (but with my setup, not from emacs -Q) that shows the bugged behavior now. I tried poking around, to see if I could discover something different about that Customize buffer, but I haven't found anything. If you have an idea of something to look for, and you let me know soon (e.g., before I forget and quit the session at some point or the session crashes), let me know and I'll take a look. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
