Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: John McPherson (jrm21) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: curses.textpad raises error Initial Comment: textpad seems to have a bug when you backspace from the start of a line. By default, stripspaces is on, so it tries to skip any spaces on the previous line. But if there are no spaces, it raises a curses error and makes the app quit. Reproduce by: $ python /usr/lib/python2.3/curses/textpad.py type "1234567890" into the textpad press backspace twice. The problem is _end_of_line() function doing "last = last + 1" I think a better way would be to start at the end of the line (last=self.maxx), and skip backwards while "last" is a space: while last > 0 and ascii.ascii(self.win.inch(y, last)) == ascii.SP: last -= 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1152762&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
