I'll also add that pressing the up arrow after pressing the down arrow always returns me to exactly where I was on the starting line before I pressed the down arrow. All of this is as I would expect it to be, although I was fascinated by how the tabs affect which way the cursor goes depending on where you are on the starting line. One other thing I'll add is that I use real tabs, as you did in the above test, but some people use spaces for tabs. If I set up the same example, but replace the tab with four spaces, the cursor stays in the same column when I press the down or up arrow keys anywhere on the starting line. -- Little Girl There is no spoon. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@lists.geany.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.geany.org
