[Bug] Spellcheck List Cursor Location

Tex2002ans · 08-03-2018, 03:06 PM

Versions

Sigil 0.9.10
Windows 10 (64 bit)

This bug didn't happen in 0.9.9, and only started when I upgraded to 0.9.10. I haven't tested on other OSes.

Steps to Reproduce

Open any EPUB.

1. Tools > Spellcheck > Spellcheck (Alt+Q)

2. Pick a random word in the list and doubleclick it.

For example, pick "the".

This should jump you to the location in the book in Code View and the specific word will be fully highlighted.

3. In Code View, Left-Click at the end of "the", so the cursor is placed after the word:

Code:

the|

4. Begin to type, and the cursor will jump to the beginning of the word.

For example, I want to type "re" after to change "the" -> "there":

4.1. Click after "the":

Code:

"the|"

4.2. Type 'r' (cursor jumps):

Code:

"|ther"

4.3. Type 'e':

Code:

"e|ther"

I tested multiple "the"s in a row, and the bug seems to only occur when a new file/tab is loaded on the first occurrence. The cursor seems to NOT jump on any further "the"s in the same chapter.

Why left click to position cursor after “the”. Does the same bug happen when a normal right click is used to position the cursor?

@Tex2002ans: I was able to reproduce this issue on my Linux machine.

@KevinH: The bug also occurs, if the cursor is moved after the word with the right arrow key.

If you Right-Click, you'll get the context menu instead. It wouldn't place the actual cursor:

... and I took a few screenshots to help explain Step 2. This is after you click on a word in Spellcheck and it highlights in Code View:

Step 3, when you Left-Click after the highlighted word:

and Step 4, after you begin typing:

first letter types in proper location, cursor will jump to beginning of word, and then second+ letter will appear in beginning.

Thanks for confirming and testing the arrow keys.

This is an artifact or side effect from the fix that keeps the caret position correctly after saving. A bug that was reported earlier and fixed in this release.

I will see if there is some workaround for the next release.

This bug applies to all validation plugins too.
After "jump" from Validation Results to correct offset I can write one character and cursor jump one character back.

Code:

1. Chapter|
2. Chapte|r

Just pushed a "fix" for this to master. It still needs to be tested so if anyone builds from source, please try this fix and let us know if it works without any side-effects/issues.

This fix will appear in the next release of Sigil (whenever that happens).

Build on Windows 10 (64-bit).

After short tests – everything seems fine.
