Cannot mouse-drag beyond viewport in Cuda

Stefan · Post by **Stefan** » 12.02.2023 23:48

Say I want to select paragraphs that are outside what's currently visible. When I drag the selection further up and down, the viewport does not scroll, I cannot get there. Only by selecting with Shift+arrow keys, but not with the mouse.

I am on Win7 at the moment. It does work in Synwrite, though, and in other programs, too.
Maybe a Cuda-setting I have to change?

tested on Win7 x64 too - all works like on linux. can you show video with a problem?

maybe value of option is too low?

"mouse_scroll_speed_vert" (here it is 1).
Mouse scrolling speed, when selection is dragged out of editor top/bottom edge.
Note: this option is global, not per-lexer.

Thanks for your suggestions. Still cannot get it to work, though.
I cranked up "mouse_scroll_speed_vert" to 6, I tried all kinds of other mouse and select related settings, (mouse 2click drag select, etc...) but no luck.

Well, I can still select with the keyboard, and also by Shift-clicking the upper od lower boundary (after first scrolling there) — so I am fine for now.

Will try it on other systems over the next weeks and report back, if the problem persists on other machines and OS.

1. problem persists on all files? or only some?
2. please send me your Cud folder (excluding .exe .dll .pyd .zip files). with 'settings' and 'py' and 'data'.

got your files.
found the culprit option:

"mouse_column_selection" : false,

will try to fix it.

was very easy to find + fix. will be ok in the next update. (currently just delete the culprit option.)

Big sigh of relief.
I was afraid I would have to backtrace all my steps to find where I went wrong. So glad you could solve it.

And hey, thanks for the hint with "newdoc_lexer" : "Markdown"
I am still in the process of moving from Syn to Cud, and lexers have never been my strong point.

Must get a better grip on it.
