Minor but annoying styling bug

Hello,

There is a minor but irritating bug in parentheses emphasing. To see it,
please load the attached morph (a workspace) in a 5.3 image.

On the line indicated by the arrow, an opening parenthesis that gets
automatically highlighted in bold will stay so instead of reverting to
normal.

To try it: erase that line, type anything, open a parenthesis (and if
you have auto-enclose on as it is by default, remove the closing one
that just appeared) then type a closing parenthesis. The first one is
now bold. Keep typing: it will stay bold.

This rather annoying, because there is no simple way to revert to normal
emphasis: one needs to type another parenthesis and erase the bold one.

This happens only on some lines, and it seems also only if bold text is
already present before and after these lines.

Hi Stef,

as a quick workaround: select the text and hit [cmd]+[0] to remove the emphasis.

Best,

Marcel

What is [cmd] on Windows?

Usually it is the [alt] key.

But [alt]+[0] does not seem to do anything. Can someone confirm it does
work?

Maybe enable "Duplicate all CTRL and ALT keys" ... *sigh*

[cmd] + [6-0] is a keyboard shortcut for text styling. I used it, for example, to write the release notes through the Help Browser.

Nope - this is enabled by default - and disabling it does not change
anything.

Fixed - see attached changesets.

The problem was that #stateArray in TextEditor did not reference the
inst. var. lastParenLocation.

Should I submit this to the inbox?
