problems under linux using the mouse in editor

[frithjofh]

Hello everybody,

I'm using c::b 5177 on SuSE 11.0 x86_64 and note some diferences in the behavior of the mouse in the editor:

On windows XP I can use the mouse to move or copy marked text by clicking it with the left button and dragging it to the new location (holding Ctrl at the same time drags the selection as copy). Additionaly I can use the middle mouse button to click-insert text which is currently highlighted.

On my platform the above actions either do absolutely nothing or in case of the middle mouse button, insert the last text copied with Ctrl+c .

Am I missing some configuration options of c::b ? The rest of the componetnts of KDE like kate for example show the "normal" behavior of dragging copying and inserting.

I would apreciate all help ...

Hi,

fine plugin. Just compiled it and installed it and works so far. Regarding my original posting: what about the ever so comfortable dragging or copy/dragging of selected text? Does this fall under the same topic, or will it be implemented in a newer, yet to come version of MouseSap?

MouseSap will not implement dragNdrop.

A bug somewhere in gtk or scintilla causes the linux system to freeze up if the user drags too fast.

I gave up on dragNdrop for linux.

From our good friend Eran, I received the solution to this problem. Apparently it is a bug in wxScintilla.

As such I will apply his solution on the CB sources, drop a note here, and everybody please check if it solves the problem in your particular case.

I think I will be able to commit before the end of tomorrow.
