Selecting text with the mouse does not work correctly: Selection is always shifted to the right

[omasseau]

When I want to select text with my mouse to copy it, the selection does not start at the character under my mouse pointer but several characters to the right of it. Same goes for the end of the selection. This makes it really hard to copy some text from a line.

The more the start of the selection is to the right, the bigger is the offset.

Version: glogg v1.1.4-x86_64 OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bits.

Might be some text encoding issue. Could you provide a log file which causes this error?

[omasseau]

Well I have the problem with any kind of file. Even a simple file with one line of text such as the one attached. Encoding does not change anything. I've tried UTF-8 files, Windows-1252, .... same problem.

I think it is a problem with the scale feature of Windows 10. If I set it to 100% I don't have the problem. But 100% on a 4k monitor is quite unreadable ;)

Might be Qt hidpi issue. I'll try to build glogg with recent Qt version.

I've set up dev build artifacts packaging from Appveyor CI builds in my fork. @omasseau, you can try latest build from here https://ci.appveyor.com/project/variar/klogg/build/artifacts?branch=master

I have the same issue in Windows 11 PRO.

And, oddly, when selecting the text, it injects a space char between all characters. Perhaps, this is why I can't find any text when searching.

@tberne could you try klogg (https://github.com/variar/klogg) in the same environment?

[tberne]

@variar , klogg works like a charm!! Thank you very much!!!
