GP Beta Test Forum

I finally was able to capture a UI bug I've been facing for awhile.

I convert a stack of blocks to a text block and place the cursor in the middle of the word. (It only seems to happen in the middle of the word, not at the end of a word or when selecting a whole word with a double-click.)
Notice that the cursor is after the "f" in fftOfSamples.

Hit the delete key once.
The "O" disappears. The cursor still appears after the "f." If I keep hitting delete, the "t" of "fft" will disappear. It's always off-by-one.
But as I say, it's not consistent, so I always have to hit delete once cautiously, see what disappeared, and then continue or change my typing/replacing strategy.

Thank you for this excellent test case. I have also seen this problem, but I could never reproduce it reliably.

Starting with your example, I gradually removed blocks until I created a fairly small test case that reliably exhibits the problem:
After converting this to text and positioning the cursor as Mark describes, deleting is off by one.

(Jens, the "for" loop seems to be needed to re-create this problem, so the problem might have something to do with the handling of indentation when converting to text.)

Excellent test case, I can totally reproduce this bug, thanks for hunting it down, Mark and John. Working on a fix now...

Fixed in v54.
