Anyone else seeing this?

I'm having a lot of trouble highlighting text. At least half the time I end up selecting one letter to the left of what I want. If I click on the middle of a letter, I get the left edge. If I click between the letters I always get one letter too far to the left.

Try clicking on a period or colon. Easy to see the middle of the letter, right? Even when I click on the right side of a colon, the cursor still goes on the left.

I think the editor needs to move a few pixels to the right (half the letter width?) when moving the cursor.

Hi Rick,

I've tested this and it does seem that it works differently than other editors. I've reported this.

I agree that if you try to start a selection on the right half of a character that the character should not be part of the selection.

This should now be fixed in the next update.

Just installed 9.02 RC1 and this issue seems resolved.

Thanks.
