Eirik Bakke updated NETBEANS-979:
---------------------------------
Description:
In an editor with line wrap enabled, the cursor is shown at the wrong physical
location whenever it is supposed to be located at the end of a wrap line.
Instead of being painted at the end of the wrap line, it is painted at the
beginning of the following line. This causes the behavior of keyboard shortcuts
like "End" and "Up" to seem nonsensical to the user, although they might well
be behaving correctly wrt. the physical location of the cursor (the character
offset).
To reproduce:
1) Go to Options/Preferences->Editor->Formatting, select "All Languages" and
set "Line Wrap" to "After words". Click OK.
2) Create a new plain text file and open it in the editor.
3) Type some gibberish into the editor on a single line that is long enough to
be broken into several break lines.
4) With the cursor before the first character of any wrap line in the paragraph
except the last, press the "End" key (Command+Right on MacBook keyboards). The
cursor appears to move one line down, which is unexpected. From looking at this
situation, the user would now assume that they could press the "Up" key to move
the cursor back to the previous break line, but this will not change the cursor
position (because the cursor is logically on the previous line).
5) Another unexpected example: Pressing Home anywhere in a paragraph will move
the cursor to the first character on the paragraph rather than at the first
character of the wrap line. (This might indicate that the problem is more than
just a paint bug, though.)
Originally reported in BugZilla at
https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242115 . Still reproducible on
NetBeans 9.0 rc2.
