Description Jathish 2002-03-22 06:53:14 UTC 
Gnome Beta 2 was built on a Solaris 8 (32 bit) sun sparc machine.

Description : 
when the first word/character of a line is selected and the previous line 
is a blank line then the blank line is also selected.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Click on "Applications-> Accessories -> Text Editor" to invoke gedit
2. enter some lines of text with blank lines in between.
3. Use the option "Search:Find" and enter a word or character that appears 
at the beginning of a line which follows a blank line
4. The search highlights even the blank line with the word/character 
searched.

I think this is a GtkTextView problem.
I have to check it more deeply
Comment 2 Luis Villa 2002-03-28 05:36:43 UTC 
Fairly minor, but irritating.
Comment 3 Paolo Maggi 2002-04-03 15:14:07 UTC 
I've investigated it a bit and I think it is a gtk+ problem.

The code I use here is:

+-----
|
|  found = gedit_text_iter_forward_search (&iter, str, search_flags,
|                                          &match_start, 
|                                          &match_end, 
|                                          NULL);
|
|  if (found)
|  {
|        gtk_text_buffer_place_cursor (GTK_TEXT_BUFFER (doc), 
|                                      &match_start);
|
|        gtk_text_buffer_move_mark_by_name (GTK_TEXT_BUFFER (doc),
|                                           "selection_bound", 
|                                           &match_end);
|  }

A small test case would make it a lot easier to fix this one.
Comment 5 Chema Celorio 2002-05-14 14:25:55 UTC 
Here you have a test case:

I can also reproduce it in gnome-dictionary.
For example, look up 'Test' (on all databases) and then search for "W
