Dear sirs!
Your reasonings are very instructive and useful.
While you practised in rhetoric, me who doesn't know C++ at all tormented with
the decision of a problem.
For you it is elementary.
line 1648 from SciTEWin.cxx:
--------------------------------------------------------------
case WM_ACTIVATEAPP:
if (props.GetInt("selection.hide.on.deactivate", 1)) {
SendEditor(SCI_HIDESELECTION, !wParam);
}
--------------------------------------------------------------
:)
Thanks for "cutting to the chase"... even though we were debating what
*should* be the behavior [in SciTE], you have clearly demonstrated how
easy it *is* to keep the selection showing.
Do note that those of us who *want* the selection to show believe (I
think) that it should "change" somehow... "dimming" is one choice.
