Selecting lines with shift+cursor gets confused with line-wrap

[gingerbeardman]

Description

Selecting lines with shift+cursor gets confused after it encounters a line that is wrapped

To Reproduce

1. Load a file with some long lines, eg. source code
2. Activate line wrap and/or split window vertically
3. Use shift+cursor to select line at a time
4. Cursor selects parts of lines after it encounters line wrap

Expected behavior

• should continue selecting full lines regardless after line wrap is encountered

CotEditor version

• 4.7.3

macOS version

• 14.3

I'd say it is currently by design that the hanging indentation part is not highlighted when selecting. But, I understand it feels odd.

I'll check whether there is a lightweight way to detour it.

Well, there are two things happening:

1. not selecting hanging part of line (normal, expected)
2. beyond the hanging part selection is no longer working in full lines (bug, unexpected)

For item 2, I tested all my other editors and none of them exhibit this problem.

• BBEdit
• TextMate
• Sublime Text
• SubEthaEdit
• Nova

main.cpp, search for IDM_PASTE and use narrow window size with word wrap activated.

Aha, OK. Now I understand the second issue. Let me see if I can fix it.

Thanks, sorry that my description was not very good.
