[Klonan] [2.0.32] Text selection continues while mouse button is held even when the selection is overwritten

Post by Ashier »

This may happen other places, however I encounter it specifically when trying to change the grid size for blueprints.

Steps to reproduce, always:
- Hold M1 and select the text within the grid size box. Try to keep the mouse still after selecting
- Type anything while still holding M1 to clear the selection
- Move the mouse any slight amount
- New text will re-highlight.

Preferred/Expected behavior:
Using other text editors as a reference, the selection position should be set to the end of the new typed content and should continue the selection from the mouses current position. So if the mouse button is continued to be held, it would select the new text only if the cursor is moved back over to the text.

Log file is included. Issue happens regardless of any mods or save. Seems to be a purely UI issue.

Thanks for the report,

This is fixed for the next release,

I used VSCode as a reference for the preferred behavior, which is to just clear/cancel the mouse drag selection entirely
