Description Egmont Koblinger 2015-10-04 19:51:24 UTC 
Select some parts with the mouse. Change the font size. Extend the selection with Shift+click -> buggy.

This is because selection_origin and selection_last contain mouse click coordinates in pixels. (The y coordinate is actually relative to the beginning of the history (similarly to insert_delta), but in pixels.)

A quick hackish solution could be to adjust them on font change.

A cleaner (?) solution could be to convert them to row/column numbers as floats, similarly to the new smooth scroll_delta.

Using grid coordinates sounds better to me. Not sure it needs to be float, since selection can only be entire cells.
Comment 2 Egmont Koblinger 2015-10-09 18:30:17 UTC 
Not sure what and how we're using these values for; maybe we need to remember the values with half-cell granularity as per bug 755183 comment 2. Maybe not.

Will probably get fixed as part of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/issues/34.
