bizarre editor behavior in 8.02 (win32)
dmoore:
I was just typing a flat text file in CB (file extension .txt), switched windows to my web browser, switched back to CB only to find that every line longer than about 50 characters suddenly became invisible (text replaced with spaces). I closed the file and opened in VIM and the file was fine. I reopened in CB and lines were still missing. I played around with editor settings closed and opened a few files and things seem to have returned to normal, but I'm a little nervous about continuing to edit with CB. I don't know if my older CB settings files (from a 3+ month old nightly) were the culprit.
Has anyone else had experienced this?
Ceniza:
I saw something similar today, even though I was editing a html file of a single line which was more than 200.000 characters long (and without code highlighting). When I tried to go to the beginning of the line the text was full of empty spaces, and moving with the arrows drew text over other text. It looked really strange, dude... and no... I wasn't high :P
I think it's a Scintilla problem.

Yes... that's the kind of stuff Ceniza is working on since he is over here, in Europe. ;-)

Sorry, but: No.

That *is* weired. Just to make sure: You are working on Windows or Linux? (VIM is available for Windows, too.) And did you close C::B for re-openeing the file before? Or did you re-open in the same running instance?

...depends. I (in fact) clean the file every now and then, especially if features are introduced that affect the configuration. So just try! ;-)
Anyways - as no data got lost I would agree with Ceniza that this is just a painting issue and this (like Ceniza said) would definitely point to (wx)Scintilla. I had in mind to update this component after the release (and core dev discussion) anyways... I am working for ~1 year with the latest version successfully.
