--- Comment #13 from Arek Guzinski <ker...@ag.de1.cc> --- And a happy new year to you! I'm glad my work got this rolling :) As far as the insertion mode is concerned... I comletely forgot about it, but on a second look, I see what you mean. From my point of view, "difficult to distinguish in a rarely used mode" is a major improvement from "practicaly unusable". I gave the insertion mode problem some consideration, and can think of 2 possible solutions (although none of them feels perfect). One would be to draw a 2 pixel in fg-color, 2 pixel bg-color alternating line around the block (I'll attach a mockup). The other might be to highlight the line in the active subview (like the active line in kate). I also noticed 2 related minor problems: * the insertion cursor overlaps with the value a bit too much - I think it would be better to draw it a pixel more to the left (see second mockup for comparison).. maybe even 2 pixels. * Directly after switching between insert and overwrite mode, the cursor is not drawn at all until you move it. I believe this is because drawing the cursor is so tightly coupled to the blinking timer. I haven't found them yet, but can imagine that there are other cases where this happens. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
