- I think I've found a bug in TextEdit in System 7. I've verified it by
- booting of the System Tools disk (S-7.0.1) and running TeachText (S-7.0).
-
- The bug is that sometimes when moving the insertion point with the left
- arrow key, the insertion point ends up in a wrong position.
-
- What happens is that (sometimes) when the insertion point is between char
- 1 and 2 of a line and you press the left arrow key, the insertion point
- moves to the end of the previous line (ie not to before char 1 on the
- current line, as it should).
-
- To test it, enter a few lines like these below in TeachText (press return
- at the end of each line):
-
- bbxxbgf
- gfgfgfgf
- gfgfgffg
-
- Put the insertion point somewhere in the middle of line 2 or 3, and press
- the left arrow key to see what happens. (If it works, try again. The bug
- seems to appear 1 time in 10 or so).
-
- Is this a know bug? Is there a workaround? My main concern is not
- TeachText, but I have the same problem in my own app.
