Ctrl + Drag-n-Drop disabled by multi-cursor?

[lhmouse]

With 6.24.309.1.rc3, I notice a change: Usually I do drag-n-drop with Ctrl held to perform a fast copy (into the same window or to another); but now click with Ctrl held seems to add a cursor and no longer performs the drag operation? Is this intended? Is there an option to get the old behavior?

I have checked all menu items thrice and there doesn't seem an option about this.

Hello @lhmouse , It seems that the fast copy with Ctrl is well performed, but doesn't received the focus (stays in background). If you check the Notepad3 icon on the taskbar, you will see the new copy. 🤔

In addition in case of Notepad3 in a window view, the copy appears clearly.

@hpwamr I meant to select some text, then click, hold, and drag the selected text.

Sorry about the misunderstanding. 🤔 You are right, "click, hold and drag selected text" has a problem. I will check from which version this regression occurs!

Hello @lhmouse ,

I confirm, it's a bug (regression). 😬

This regression started with version: Notepad3 6.24.111.1 rc2

• [.111.1]- Allow selected lines movement for rectangular selection also.
• [.111.1]- Add detection of Windows 11 Version information.
• [.111.1]- Horizontal mouse wheel scrolling direction.
• [.111.1]- Ctrl+Up/Down should keep selection.
• [.111.1]- "grepWinNP3": Search results context menu "Fix Open with Editor" (GRE).
• [.111.1]- "grepWinNP3": bug directly passed search path (GRE).

The issue seems to be caused by 868683ed5fcd9a0ce05549d9702b05a0dbf58d14. Downdating the scintilla directory just before that commit fixes the issue.

To get the old behavior, you have to disable the Multiple Selection Scintilla feature. PR #5203 will add this option switch to the Settings Menu

Thank you. I will have a look.
