I found various "unexpected behaviour" in Amaya v3.1
I wanted to use the SHIFT kwy pllus the cursor keys to select
several complete lines, and it produces very weird behaviour
(i tried hard to find a more detailled descrioption, but it is so
complex than i just send this email and will tell you more if you ask
for more! to sum up:
"descending selection", when the cursor is in the 1st column (=before
the 1st char) : Selects the link (not the whole line), then 2 lines,
then one link, then 2 lines, then several lines, etc, etc...
"descending selection", when the cursor is NOT in the 1st column (=in
some position in the line) : Selects precisely one line+a supplementary
chart for the 1st press on [cursor down], then exactly 1 line for any
supplemental press on [cursor down]! (and it is even more weird depending
if the position where the cursor would end on the next line is in a text
or just at the end of a link, or in some separators...)
"ascending selection" (for exemple, i selected several lines, then use the
[cursor up] to deselect 1 line at a time: it deselect exactly 1 line MINUS
1 char!
I can send you more detailled descrition if you think it's worth something
but i fear it can be difficult to trace and correct (and perhaps it comes
from some "standart function" in Win98? or it can;'t be corrected if you
took a non-wysiwyg approach of the display, etc...)
ask me for any detailled description (much more clear than these ones ;^)
regards, olivier. (PS: i'm french, but don't know if you speak french.
