Possible option to change statusbar line/column display

Hi. Presently, when hold down right-arrow key or down-arrow key to move caret quickly by several lines or columns, the statusbar does not update the position until the caret stops moving. In all other editors I've used, the statusbar position is updated immediately for every line/column, which I would like to have here as well. Perhaps there is a performance issue? Perhaps it could be made a user settable option?

'Perhaps there is a performance issue?' -yes, it was made so the perfomance is not decreased. not sure we need to change it, it is also OK way. to see the raw index, look at the gutter line numbers. to see column, turn 'ruler' on (in View menu).

That's fine. You're right, using the line number marker in the gutter makes it easy to follow. My other editor has line numbers, but doesn't have that marker! Another plus for CudaText.

hm. maybe you are using old Cud? in the last 1.184 (it was changed months ago, not in 1.184) the caret statusbar cell is updated instantly when I move caret by arrows.

About shows 1.184.5.1. Statusbar line/column still don't update instantly. Could be because statusbar is customized?

Even though About showed 1.184.5.1, it was actually 1.184.5.2; but result was still the same.

However, just updated to 1.185.5.5 to test other bug, and now statusbar is updating instantly! (But About still shows 1.184.5.1.)

hm, i don't know why statusbar updates NOT instantly - pls, send me your user.json when you see again it updates slowly.

small experiment. take clean (!) Cud, and in a new tab, hold down a letter-key. text like "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" is adding, and statusbar reacts FAST.
so some option makes it slow? what opt?

Okay, I unzipped cudatext-windows-amd64-1.183.0.0.zip into a new directory, and ran from there. Statusbar updating is delayed; it is not immediate.

However, with cudatext-windows-amd64-1.184.5.5.zip (pre-release?) the statusbar updating is immediate.

cudatext-windows-amd64-1.183.0.0.zip was the latest when I installed into my working directory. I didn't see a cudatext-windows-amd64-1.184.0.0.zip (they come so fast), but I see that now cudatext-windows-amd64-1.185.0.0.zip is the latest, so I will install that one.

i confirm, on 1.183.0 reaction to caret move was very slow. i cannot recall when I fixed it, and i don't see notes about this fix in history.txt.
