Summary: TheWord: cursor does not display/function correctly Product: Wine Version: 1.1.43 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: heartsongsmusicmin@juno.com
Issue appeared in 1.1.43, still present in 1.1.44 and 1.2-rc1. TheWord functions correctly in 1.1.42 and prior versions of Wine.
In a docked Bible View you can only select complete lines with the mouse for copying text. In a floating view, if you select any part of a verse with the mouse, nothing is highlighted; if you do Ctrl-C, it works the same as right-click, Copy (reference). Apparently whatever is different about a floating view affects how the cursor is displayed and highlighting works.
In a docked Book View (commentary, for example), when the active verse has no entry the standard "page" displays giving the option to add comments or the alternate choices. On a line with plain text and a hyperlink, you can position the cursor anywhere within the text but it won't go beyond the second character of the hyperlink. Behavior within a hyperlink is the same whether the link occupies part or all of the line.
In a User module Book View, the behavior is hard to figure out. On lines that have been indented the cursor behaves properly, hyperlinks included. On lines that are not indented, the cursor doesn't move past the second character unless text attributes like Bold have been applied. Then it will move farther along the line, but still not to the correct position. If the line is retyped, the line, the cursor positioning works as expected for that session. In Book Views, keyboard navigation works for cursor position and actions like copy and paste; however, the displayed cursor doesn't move and the text doesn't highlight, so you can't see what is going on.
In the F3 search box, it doesn't matter where I click on the line, the cursor won't go past the second column. If I click to the right of the text in the box and use the backspace key, it deletes the text from the right as you would expect even though the cursor appears in the second column.
Another issue is the lookup of words in the dictionary when the mouse hovers over them. It doesn't matter which word the mouse is over, it looks up the word at the end of the line. It is consistent whether in a single version Bible view or Compare view.
Aside from these issues, mouse/cursor behavior is as expected. Hyperlink popups work fine, tooltips are ok, navigation works properly. I did try emulating a desktop in Wine but that didn't change how TW behaves. The program doesn't crash but it is essentially unusable as intended because of these interface issues.
