Description Andreas J. Guelzow 2010-07-16 22:55:48 UTC 
When entering functions using the formula guru, for example FOURIER, the range selection does not work.
Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2010-07-16 23:00:43 UTC 
Hmm, the range selection code in expr-entry appears to have no text to work with:

Before attempting range selection:

text: >=fourier(,)< -- cursor: >,)<
************
 0 to  7: 258
 7 to  8: 40
 8 to  9: 269
 9 to 10: 41
************
before: 0xa3308a4 -- after: 0xa3308b0
before token: 40
after token: 269
characters from 9 to 9

When attempting range selection:

text: >< -- cursor: ><
************
************
before: (nil) -- after: (nil)
text: >< -- cursor: ><
************
************
before: (nil) -- after: (nil)
Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2010-07-17 00:03:34 UTC 
Mea culpa. This has noting to do with the formula guru, but my improvements to the range selector ignored the possibility that the text is empty...
Comment 3 Andreas J. Guelzow 2010-07-17 00:15:30 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
