Yes - I thought it would be difficult to explain. Initially I tried to
record what I mean as an animated GIF, but the software doesn't record
the mouse cursor - so it was a bit useless for the purpose.

Anyway, watch from 0:03 to 0:05 in the video. Note how you moved the
mouse pointer outside the main source editor (over the gutter) and the
selection did not follow the mouse. All other editors capture the mouse
event on mouse down so that while the mouse moves, event are still sent
back to the original widget.

I've recorded another video which clearly shows the difference. Note
that once the selection starts, the left mouse button is kept down (not
obvious in the video) while I move the mouse around - even outside the
original source editor widget.

In MSEide, as soon as the mouse cursor is outside the source editor, the
selection stops moving.

Hello Graeme.

Here video of what appends on Linux Debian 9.8 64 bit:

msede_selectmouse.mp4

[MSEide-MSEgui-talk] bug: mouse selection in editor stops

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

I not sure, but I consider it a bug.  When I select text with the mouse
in the source editor... The selection works perfectly as long as I keep
the mouse pointer inside the source editor. If the mouse pointer moves
into the editor gutter (where the line numbers are) or outside the
editor, then the selection stops at the point where the mouse left the
source editor widget.

In any other editors I often select a couple of lines with a mouse swipe
action (in a NW direction), but in MSEide I can't do that. I always have
to select lines only in the N or S directions to make sure the mouse
pointer doesn't leave the editor widget.

It seems that MouseCapture is not triggered or something, so the mouse
events don't get sent back to the editor.

Oh, and my editor is docked with the main IDE window - not sure if that
is relevant.

Regards,
  Graeme
