Editor2 doesn't capture last line break when cuting/copying

[NiteShdw]

A really frequent thing that I do with text editors and IDEs is cut a few lines and past them in another location.

Editor2 doesn't behave like all the other text editors and IDEs I use.

The expected behavior is that I can put the cursor at the beginning of a line, hold SHIFT, and press DOWN to select the entire line.  I then use CTRL-X to cut it, move the cursor to another line, and CTRL-V to paste it.  It should insert the line above the currently selected line.

Code: Select all

Line 2
Line 1 (cut and pasted)
Line 3

What Editor2 does is that it pastes the line without the training line break, so that it turns into one long line.

Code: Select all

Line 2
Line 1 (cut and pasted)Line 3

This is so incredibly frustrating.

NiteShdw,

That's a long-standing issue; but thanks (really!) for bringing it up.

Myself, I have "learned" to just live with it.
Nikos has not seemed at all anxious to fix it, and most of us long-time users gave up asking years ago.

However, maybe, just maybe, this time will be different!  
nikos? please?

it's not me, it's that @£%$ richedit control!
on the plus side, ed2 makes it really easy to copy a whole line, just press ctrl+C without selecting anything and the current line is copied

Well, that shortcut is good to know for at least one line.

It would be nice if there was some kind of workaround for that issue, but I understand what it's like dealing with the limitations and bugs in Microsoft's common controls.
