Cannot select text in code editor #337

Closed underdoeg closed 7 years ago

underdoeg commented 7 years ago

I'm on arch linux running gnome shell 3.24. Usually I cannot select text in the code editor. It behaves as if I clicked somwhere else and thus deselect again. Though sometimes it works as expected. This affects selecting by mouse and keyboard as well as the release and git version.

Is this happening in gedit as well? I have not tried 3.24, and am thinking it might be a bug that is recently introduced by gtk+ or gtksourceview.

underdoeg commented 7 years ago

no, that was my first thought as well. but gedit and builder are working as expected.

Ok thank you. By the way, is the text deselected when you copy/cut the text, or is it happening while or after selecting the text, that is without any extra actions other than selecting the text?

underdoeg commented 7 years ago

It happens while selecting.

But very interesting. I just tried to record a gif to show the bug and now it is gone. Before it kept coming back even after a reboot. I don't know what might have changed... But will report if it should happen again.

I failed to reproduce this behaviour as well. I used Gnome 3.24 on latest Manjaro Gnome. Closing this issue for the time being, but please reopen it if you notice this behaviour repeating.
