This visual glitch is caused by the fact that when the viewer is in growing view mode and data is still coming from the datasource no percent indicator is drawn in the status bar. The percent indicator occupies the last 4 cells of the status line. Now, if the percent indicator is drawn the cursor is advanced beyond the last cell of the status bar and is displayed on the next line (the first line of text). If no percent indicator is displayed the cursor stays where it was after the last update of the status line. It is obvious that this is wrong. The old viewer code used to place the cursor after the last character of the last line displayed in the viewer area. The cursor then tracked the movement of the data. If the user scrolled the text down the cursor remained at the last line. If the text was scrolled up the cursor was displayed after the last character of the first line. There are certain problems when PgUp/PgDown is used but stille the old behaviour is much more consistent than what we have currently. IMO, the perfect case would be if the cursor would move inside the viewer area when the arrow keys are used. If the cursor is at the last visible line and it is moved down - one more line would be loaded and displayed at the last line position while the first line will be removed off the screen. Similiarly if the cursors is at the first visible line and is moved up. Home/End should move the cursor to the beginning/end of the current line. Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End should move to the first/last line of text. _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
