Yes, that's what I tried first. It only appears to have no selection -- as soon as I move the caret, it starts selecting again (even without the shift key!) So appears to have gone into a strange extend-selection-just-by-moving mode. I can make it return to normal by hitting ESC and then an arrow key, or by again setting the selection start and end points the to the same position. Weird or what? Cheers, Austin. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel
