Hi John,
Thanks for all the work. My Python/Qt/OS is the same as your test
environment. For me the cursor still *always *goes to the end of the string
on paste, no matter how I select the string.
So it must be something in my settings. I pull from git every single time I
start Leo, it is baked into my start-up script. I will try downloading from
github and running a vanilla install of Leo and report back.
