HI John,
I've read through your patch. I like the nice clean code although
as Sam says it does not conform to the Abi style. Unfortunately I
got strnge behaviour when I applied it. It might be because I was very
rushed at the time. However reading through the code it looks like it
should work and since Sam and you both say it does I suspect I did
something wrong.
Specifically I openned two views on a large document put the cursor near
the end of one view and did a big cut near the beginning of the other
view. The cursor in the uncut view jumped back to match the location in
cut view. Did you check that all the _setpoint() functions were fixed in
the doclisteners?
Anyway can you provide a new patch that conforms to the Abi style? I know
it sounds silly but it does help in the longrun to have nice looking code.
I'll have another go in a less rushed way with your new patch.
Oh one last thing, instead of "unsigned int" use our platform independent
"UT_uint32" declaration.
Cheers
Martin
