#266: Backward search doesn't find underlined text ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: egmont | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: 4.7 Component: mc-core | Version: 4.6.2 Keywords: | Blocking: Blockedby: | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ If you view a manual page in mc's built-in viewer, and do a backward search (F7) for some underlined (a.k.a. red) text, it won't match.
Reason: backward search is implemented by reversing both the haystack and the needle and then calling normal (forward) search. Underlined text in man pages are implemented by an underscore, followed by a backspace, followed by the desired letter. mc's icase_search() ignores the character before the backspace to be able to search in man pages. Guess what happens however if you reverse an underscored letter in a manpage... Obvious consequence: As the Summary shows, backward search doesn't find the text you're looking for. Funny consequence: If you do a backward search for some underscores, it finds every red text. -- Ticket URL: <www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/266> Midnight Commander <www.midnight-commander.org> Midnight Development Center _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
