Cursor jumping to above lines when selecting #155

Closed werunom closed 5 years ago

werunom commented 6 years ago

When I attempt to select a column of text by ctrl+left-click, the cursor jumps from the present line to some line above. Below is the gif for the same.

The same thing happens even when I change the hotkey. Also, I had disabled most of the relevant installed packages while reproducing this.

Atom version - 1.23.3 OS - manjaro linux

I did tried this with three kinds of scenarios. Below gif illustrates those three situations. Only in the last one, the cursor jumps without doing column selection.

Note - if its relevant, this is a plain txt file whose grammar has been set as source.gfm

122 @bigfive has given up this tool? Not a response for a year

daeh commented 6 years ago

same issue but cursor jumps to end of document. essentially makes the package unusable, which is such a shame as it's one of the functionalities that I use the most in sublime.

@bigfive has not a single activity for more than a year already. Probably he's no longer the earth. Everyone we have to dissolve now, bye.

I'd like to help but I don't have the ability. Give the access to someone else who can fix the problem please.

@daeh An alternative I found helpful is multi-cursor.

daeh commented 6 years ago

thanks, @bencooling. I'm sad to lose option-click-drag multi-cursor looks like the best atom has to offer atm.

@bigfive , I'm interested in looking for a fix to this. Where do you think we should start checking?

snow212-cn commented 5 years ago

@bigfive, you're free enough to be busy with this repo ExMachina. You'd rather completely ignore sublime-select even when here's someone instrested in it. You've been a real busy guy!

^ found the stalker ;)

OK, consider me bullied into giving this a go. I imagine its to do with how I'm converting the cursor position into line/character position. It obviously breaks when theres a long line above the place you are selecting and you have line wrapping on. I'll see what I can do, maybe atom has recently added some helpful API functions I can use.

@werunom Ive just released a new patch for this. Let me know if it fixes the issue for you. Thanks for your patience :)
