Instead, consider the attached patch. What it achieves is making all
inside-paragraph selecting operations, whether by keyboard or by mouse,
of single-paragraph type. This _should_ produce a speed-up as long as
the selection remains within a paragraph.
I tried to test that there are no "turds" or other side effects, and it
seems to be OK. Please test some more if you can.
I think this is clean enough for 1.4.0, or else 1.4.1. Depends a bit on
how much of a useful speed-up it produces.
Dear Martin,
using qtwin on Windows, I cannot see any difference. The flickering
still occurs even if I select text in a single row. (BTW: The best way
to cause flickering is editing a short document that does not cover the
full screen; you can see easily how the gray background at the bottom
flickers).
Another thing that astonishes me: Why do we have to do a full redraw if
a single character is inserted/deleted? It shouldn't be necessary in
most cases.
