Hi! I've just committed some changes, which fix bugs related to selection. I've tested all reports (at least those with a meaningful mail subject :-), the only page which does not work currently is "www.slackware.com" (that's a bug lying somewhere else). Those who send me reports without an exact description (and of course, anyone else), please check out the latest CVS and test again. Sebastian

This one is fixed. AFAIS, all known bugs related to selection are fixed now, aside from several known glitches (those mentioned at the beginning of src/selection.c). Please notice, if I'm incorrect. Some time ago, Andreas Schweitzer wrote:

The only two points I see (and saw when you wrote this mail), are: 1. If you start e.g. the selection in "Submit News" (say, between "b" and "m" in "Submit"), and move the pointer to the right, there is a small area where _not_, as expected, "mit News" is selected, but instead "BSD Newsletter Sub". This is a known fault, the solution is to add event handling to DwTable. 2. You can start the selection within a link: as soon as you leave the link, the state switches from SELECTION_LINK_PRESSED to SELECTION_SELECTING (see src/selection.[ch]). This is meant as a feature! (Other browsers start dragging the URL, but also after this has been implemented in dillo, it would IMO be nice to preserve a possibility to archieve the current behavior.) Did you mean one of these two? Sebastian

I don't see anything anymore - right now ;-)

Actually, I meant something else which is, however, fixed in the mean time. If I would start selection left of e.g. "Submit News" and wanted to select the whole part, it would only select up to "Submit " and then select "News" only - or somehow similar. Don't quite remember, but I'm certain I never could select the whole "Submit News". Which I can now.

I didn't even realize this one. Cool !

I prefer the current behaviour ! I rarely want to drag a URL to anywhere. I - IMHO - more often want to cut and paste the text.

This has probably been fixed Sunday (see CVS log). I've just committed event handling for DwTable, test it e.g. by selecting text in the red bar at <http://www.daemonnews.org>. There are still some glitches, e.g. in the splash screen, with the pointer on the thin black lines), but these are minor issues, in most cases selection works reasonable and (in all cases) stable, so I'd like to finish the work on it for the 0.7.2 release. Further features (scrolling, word selection and some others) will be done for 0.7.3 or later. Sebastian
