[End] key behaves strangely
Last modified: 2005-12-19 22:30:59 UTC
The [End] key behaves strangely if there is at least one trailing blank. The cursor jumps back and forth across the trailing blank(s). E.g. Steps: 1. Type in the following: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 2. Press either [Space] or [Tab] to add a trailing blank. 3. Press the [End] key a couple of times. Actual results: The cursor jumps back and forth across the trailing blank. Expected results: It shouldn't. Pressing the [End] key when the cursor is already in the last position should just do nothing. Version details: gtksourceview 1.4.2 gedit 2.12.1
Same thing happens with the [Home] key and leading blanks.
that's with gedit right? It's gedit feature called smart home end and it's intentional. see bug 161612
