[BUG?] Selection & wrapping in lister

Post by *Jungle »

Open a file with long lines. Select some text then press 'W' for wrap. Selection is lost.
Maybe it's not a bug, but i think it should be fixed.

This behaviour does not depend on the fact that a file has long strings. Open a file with short strings, select something, press W and selection is lost in this case also.
Now this should be really considered a bug :)

This is intentional, because the selection may get out of view, so the user may think that nothing is selected. Therefore it's better to remove the selection completely.
