Summary0005871: Highlighting Text - Strange behaviour of text-cursor
DescriptionTrying to highligt (Select) text usig the text-cursor, in some situations highligting starts starts not in the line where the cursor is visible, but in the first line. Moving the cursor down highlights the text to the end.
I first thought this only happens if the text has been moved within the text-box usig spaces on the left/above the text, but it is still there if you set these values back to 0.
Sometimes it works as it should - sometimes it doesn't. I have no idea what it depends on.
TagsNo tags attached.

I think I get the same problem as described above (on XP SP2). Over time the selected area becomes almost completely random if using the mouse, using the arrow keys still works but I've found the quickest way to restore correct function is to restart Scribus.

Yetp, W2000, Scribus 1.3.4 the same thing, arrows work in selction, but using the mouse the selection starts a few lines upper than the actual position of the cursor. Restarting did help. though.

Press shift and arrow down. then move the cursor up, above the line where it's placed --> nothing is selected, move it down again --> nothing is selected, move it again multiple time -->cursor is placed randomly
