Source buffer position doesn't account for narrowing when moving between candidates #67

Closed vermiculus closed 9 years ago

vermiculus commented 9 years ago
  1. Insert a large amount of text (line-wise) into a buffer and narrow it to an arbitrary section.
  2. Execute helm-swoop and enter query text.
  3. Note source buffer does not agree with candidate selection buffer as different candidates are selected.

This is likely caused by a simple goto-line somewhere. I'll bet there is some version of goto-line that takes buffer narrowing into account, but I haven't the freedom to poke around that today :smile:

As a matter of fact, behavior is completely erratic when the buffer has undergone narrowing. If I widen the buffer after swooping, only the narrowed text will be searched. Is there some sort of caching going on?

Thank you for the issue, I also had been bothered by the behavior once in a while. As you mentioned, buffer caching is the culprit, but I managed to clear cache by narrowing or widening :grinning:
