Summary | 0004857: Bad cursor placement in text frames | ||||
Description | In text frames the cursor is placed exactly _in_ the frame border in a new line (see screenie). This makes the cursor almost invisible, unless the view is enlarged. Proposed solution: Place the cursor beside the text frame (inside) or make it "fatter". If I may add a suggestion in this context: Cursor placement in text frames is still a torture in Scribus, and the issues cost a lot of time. If this could be seriously improved before 1.3.6, I'm sure almost all users would celebrate ;) | ||||

there seems to be no cursor at all at the first position of a text frame (before the first character) |
|
works fine except as johannes mentioned no cursor in the first line first char of a text frame |
|
cursor is now shown at begin of frame. can we keep this closed, now? ;-) |
|
there is still no cursor at the beginning in an empty textframe. |
|
Update your cvs |
|
i have uptodate cvs. but there is no cursor if you create a textframe and double click it. see screenshot. |

Another point is the behaviour of the cursor wrt control characters. If placed before such a character the display is correct, i.e. Io, but behind a cc it doesn't look like oI, but the cursor covers a part of the control character (see screenshot). |

That's because control characters are no properly designed chars but just some outlines which are drawn instead of a char. For ex. the o for blanks has always the same size, but the cursor is placed at the real advance width of the blank. That might be inside the o for some fonts, sorry. Controlchars can even bump into the chars around it, you may have noticed already. Since the layout of the other chars must not change when controlchars are displayed, the only alternative would be to adjust the size of the controlchars to the available space. But what if there just isn't enough space? IMO the current solution is good enough. We might implement some fancier scheme when we have some more time at our hands, but not before 1.3.6. |
