TC7rc4 - Compare By Content, Ctrl-Left/Right on empty line

[white]

1. Select two files and open the Compare contents dialog (menu Files/Compare By Content).
2. Press F6 to go into Edit mode.
3. Hold down Ctrl-Right (keep it down) and look at the cursor running.
4. When a line is empty and also does not have a line number the cursor will stop. This should not happen.

Confirmed. Ctrl-right should jump to the next word, as it does in non-empty lines. Instead it doesn't move away from empty lines without a line number (number 0).

There is no work in empty lines, so how should TC jump to a word in this case?

Like TC does in empty lines with line numbers greater than 0.

Like TC does in empty lines with line numbers.

Which would be jumping to the first word found in the next lines.
Maybe it's difficult for the function to find out what line number is following after the inserted line "0" (47->0->48 here)?

Code: Select all

47: Text
 0: Text
48: Text

Which would be jumping to the beginning of the next line.

Does not seem that way. If you type one or more characters on the line with line number 0 it works OK.

You're right, I forgot that TC acts this way here.

This way on i.e. 50 empty lines, Ctrl-left/right has no advantage over not pressing the Ctrl key.
DOS's edit.com works better here, WordPad + Notepad (W2k) unfortunately not anymore.
I'm waiting for the day, when even space gets treated as a stop character...
Never mind, it could come worse.

I will skip these lines, thanks.

Please have a look at this related thread.

Should be fixed in RC5, please test!

Confirm fixed in TC7rc5.

Thanks for checking it!

Still the same behaviour here (no difference between right and Ctrl-right on empty lines),
but I fear that's by design...

Issue about stopped cursor: confirm fixed in RC5.

Yes it is!
