[9.0 b13 x64]: Lister - caret glitch in UTF-8/16 file

[fleggy]

Hello,

I have a UTF-8 and UTF-16 files containing just two lines:

अत्याचार m Deviating from prescribed observances.Outrage.
अदेसा m Doubt,apprehension,surmise.

If I open such a file in Lister and press DOWN_ARROW (or END, RIGHT_ARROW, ...) at the moment when the blinking caret is visible then it remains visible as a ghost caret at the previous position.

Thanks, Tom

I can confirm that this happens only for TC x64 and also back in TC 8.5x.

And it is definitely related to a byte order mark (BOM) at the beginning of the file, no matter if for UTF-8 or UTF-16.
The actual text doesn't seem to matter, you can even put ASCII-only characters in the file and Lister will show this very behavior when the file has a BOM.

Additionally, as soon as you switch to another window and back to the Lister window, this "dangling" cursor won't show any more.

Thanks, I can reproduce the problem. And it really seems to be caused by the byte order marker. It doesn't happen if you press Cursor right and then cursor left before you press cursor down.

Hello,

the ghost cursor is fixed in beta14. Now the cursor is very often not visible at all immediately after opening an UTF file with BOM until some cursor control key is pressed. A very minor glitch unworthy of your attention, I think.

Thanks, Tom

I will check it.

Hello,

it is completely fixed in beta 15.

Thank you, Tom
