Hi jens,

working with XP here (CB revision 6157).

Hi,

I am trying to use the "enable multiple selection" feature, but it seems not to work correctly in my eyes.

If I select the first text passage with Crtl and the left mouse button then the selection is highlighted. If I select a different text then this selection disappears if I release the Crtl key and the cursor jumps to the beginning of this selection. But if I type a text then it will be inserted at the first selection and at the beginning of the second selection.

I tried different settings in the editor but I was not able to get it work. I know that I tested this feature some time ago and it worked as expected. Can anyone reproduce it?

Can't try atm, but I've committed an update yesterday concerning multiple (rectangle) selections. Can you try again with trunk, please?!

Hi Martin,

to use the multiple selection feature, I have found out that it works with the following workflow, but I don't know if this behaviour is intended.

1. Select line/s (without holding Ctrl) by moving mouse (holding left mouse button).
2. Select a different line: Press the Ctrl-Key and then click the left mouse button to put the cursor at a position. After this release the left mouse button and start holding the Shift key. Then move the mouse cursor to the desired position and click the left mouse button. Now the line will be selected. Then the Shift and Ctrl-key can be released.

Is this the normal way to use multiple selection?

No. I tried (meanwhile) and it works as follows:
1.) select a text (you may press control when selecting) with the left mouse button
2.) hold CTRL and select a different portion with the left mouse button

Works as expected here...?!
