Bad backwards scrolling selection extension bug

Hi Marcel, Hi All,

I notice that backwards scrolling selection extension no longer works properly, at least in the Transcript.

To reproduce, ensure your Transcript is full of many lines of text. Scroll to the bottom. Click and hold the left button at the end of the selection. While holding the button down move the mouse to the top of the Transcript window (or a little beyond) to start scrolling backwards while extending the text selection. It used to be that the text selection would continue to extend from the current cursor/mouse point to the end of the selection. This no longer happens. This is a rather serious text selection regression. IMO it needs to be fixed before the next release.

Confirmed in a scrollable Workspace, too. Down seems to work, just not up...

Re: Bad backwards scrolling selection extension bug

Is it possible to write tests for this with additional Hands etc?

Hi all!

Sure. :-) It's not that challenging to generate user-input events and then call #processEvent: on some morph. See UserInputEventTests.

Fixed in Morphic-mt.1610.
