FS#258 - backspace problem at start of line
Using POV-Ray 3.7 RC6 64bit for Windows
I have problems in the POV-Ray editor with ‘backspace’:
When using backspace at start of line
it does not only kill the return/line feed, but also
everything of the line what’s beneath the upper line.
Sample: (here ‘|’ is used for the current cursor position!)
//--------------------------------------
texture { pigment{ Red }
| normal { bumps 0.5 scale 0.1 }
//--------------------------------------
hitting backspace results in:
//--------------------------------------
texture { pigment{ Red }| 0.5 scale 0.1 }
//--------------------------------------
and not as expected:
//--------------------------------------
texture { pigment{ Red }| normal { bumps 0.5 scale 0.1 }
//--------------------------------------
With 3.6.2 and with RC3 (latest old beta I found on my computers)
this was no problem!
I already reported this on 17-Sept-2012 at
http://news.povray.org/povray.beta-test/thread/%3C5056f452%241%40news.povray.org%3E/
It seems to have been addressed with change #5718 (post version 3.7RC6), testing for confirmation would be require when available.
With RC7 on 64bit for Windows it all seems in order now! Thanks!
