Description gaele 2007-09-08 08:41:09 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Pasting several lines into a Tomboy note moves the cursor to the end of those pasted lines. When copying from within Tomboy this works correctly. The window moves along, so the cursor is still visible. When copying from an external application the window does not scroll down to the cursor position, so the cursor ends up out of sight.

Steps to reproduce:
- Open Gedit, OpenOffice.org, or another text editor
- create a page of text
- copy the whole page
- Open Tomboy
- paste


Actual results:
Window/scrollbar doesn't move. The cursor is hiding somewhere under my desk ;-)

Expected results:
At least internal and external pasting should behave the same. Preferably keeping the cursor in sight at any time.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
Gedit behaves the same way. Copy from Tomboy to Gedit to see it.

This bug appears in Ubuntu Feisty, as well as in Ubuntu Gutsy tribe 5 (which has Gnome 2.19.90). See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomboy/+bug/70717

Setting the default assignee and QA Contact to "tomboy-maint@gnome.bugs".
Comment 2 Benjamin Podszun 2009-02-16 19:13:26 UTC
I cannot reproduce the problem (using the latest source, trunk). Is this still relevant?
Comment 3 Sandy Armstrong 2009-02-16 19:20:44 UTC
I can't reproduce this, either.  Closing as invalid.

Feel free to re-open if you are still experiencing this in Tomboy 0.13.4 or later.
