TC7rc5 - Compare contents editor, 1 line copied too much

[white]

Already mentioned here. Copying a line break of a line without line number and pasting it will paste two lines.

Example:

• Select two files and open the Compare contents dialog (menu Files/Compare By Content).
• Go into Edit mode.
• Select a line which is followed by an empty line without line number. The selection must include the line break (cursor on the next line).
• Press Ctrl-C to copy the selection to clipboard.
• Press Ctrl-V to paste the selection. An extra empty line is copied.

Compare with (bold text is different):

• Select two files and open the Compare contents dialog (menu Files/Compare By Content).
• Go into Edit mode.
• Select a line which is followed by an empty line with line number. The selection must must include the line break (cursor on the next line).
• Press Ctrl-C to copy the selection to clipboard.
• Press Ctrl-V to paste the selection. No extra empty line is copied.

Well, I have already explained that this isn't a bug.

When you select a line break, you actually select TWO lines, the one with the line break, and the next one.

I have also explained that when you press Ctrl+C, you copy all selected lines, even those which are non-existant in the source file.

# Select a line which is followed by an empty line with line number. The selection must must include the line break (cursor on the next line).
# Press Ctrl-C to copy the selection to clipboard.
# Press Ctrl-V to paste the selection. No extra empty line is copied.

I cannot confirm that - TC pastes two lines in this case too!

If I have this screen shot.
And I press Ctrl-C directly followed by Ctrl-V.
And then do the same with line 6.
I get this screen shot.

Confirmed:
everything is copied/pasted normal, if no "not existing" line is involved,
an additional line is copied/pasted if a whole line is selected, where the following line is a "not existing" line in the actual file
(line "two" on the left side, cursor standing in the "not existing" line when copying).

Hmm, very strange. I will have a look at it after the release of TC7 final. It's not really such a big problem, and I fear that I will break a lot in the editor if I try to change that now.
