Description Devin Samarin 2010-11-05 22:03:40 UTC 
Let's say you want to use the scroll wheel to select text quicker than dragging the selection outside the boundaries of the text view widget; you can't. It gets stuck at the end of the selection. This could be fixed by updating the start and end position of the selection with scroll events, as well as mouse move events. (Anytime the text moves relative to the mouse pointer during a selection.)
