bizarre editor behavior in 8.02 (win32)
Jenna:
As I wrote, I tested it also in Scite, and Scite is build without wxWidgets.
And the behaviour is similar.
And what's more, I can reproduce the problem with much less than 64k chars.
Even with less than 4k chars.
Beginning with 3795 the caret is no longer placed after the char, but right in the middle of it cutting of the rest.
If I then press the left key the caret is not erased when jumping to the new char, so multiple black lines (I don't want to say caret to them) appear.
Here is a snapshot with multiple "carets" (the first one) and one that shows the behaviour after switching away from C::B and then back:

I believe this is something different than the bug I was explaining. Do you have the EOL line enabled and set to a huge value, probably?! Settings -> Editor -> Margins and carets -> right margin hint...?! And if so, what happens if you turn that off?
JGM:
This is funny, whats the point of creating such an endless line of code? to complicate more our lives?
A good example would be really appreciated :D
P.S.
Something similar happened to me with scrollbars on long lines, but pressing th END key point me to the visible end of the line. Opted to format my code to become more prettier. :)

We want to scramble the C::B source code. Thus put all into one file and then all into one line. This saves webspace but are (unfortunately) more than 64k characters. ;-) :lol:

Margin hints are set to none.
When I set to either line or highlight... and the hint column to 500 (that's the maximum) the "bad" behaviour starts later in the line, but still does.
