Select and Tab scrolls to the bottom #6491

Closed focusright closed 2 months ago

focusright commented 2 months ago

Description of the bug

Selecting a large block of code (over a page) and shifting it to the right with tab multiple times cause the screen to scroll to the bottom of the selected code. The way it used to work is while the tab shifting is happening the screen would remain as it is.

This bug causes a lot of issues for me since I perform this task repeatedly while coding.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Select a large block of code or text, say 100 lines.
  2. Hit tab to shift the code multiple times (3-5).
  3. Observe the screen scrolling to the bottom of the selected text.

Expected behavior

The screen should remain as it is without automatically scrolling to the bottom of the selected text.

Actual behavior

The screen scrolls to the bottom of the selected text.

Do you happen to select text bottom up?

ST scrolls a view to reveal a moving caret. FWIW, I see same behavior from ST4107 to 4180 with regards to how it scrolls, when running in SAFE MODE. It partly scrolls down a bit, each time tab is hit. It tries, but fails to reveal the caret, IMHO.

The primary usability issue is indent and unindent manipulating caret location. If a selection was made bottom up, caret is moved from selection's beginning to end.

Instead, caret location should stay unmodified.

Fixed in build 4181.
