I had a look to see if I could reproduce this bug, I could not but I found another :
May be related to "Bug 20240 - Selecting Text With A Click and Drag of the Mouse in the Script Editor Does Not Always Select a Contiguous Block of Text" I have just tried to reproduce the bug reported in report 20240 and failed. However, I found a problem that is repeatable and may be related: https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22195 <https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22195> 1. Select a block of text in the IDE. 2. Drag down to new location and drop : the text is moved. 3. Go to edit menu and click 'undo' : the dragged text is deleted - ouch! I would expect the undo command to restore the text to its original location. I am unclear as to the status of 20240 as it is marked as resolved yet there is discussion about it on the groups along with a bounty. It may help the investigation into 20240, Simon Simon Knight s...@anvic.net Telephone : 01427 325911 Mobile : 07963 077071 Skype : jtidsskids > On 18 Jun 2019, at 16:47, dsc--- via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > Whoops.
