Wierd Select Problem

[asmrixstar]

I had this problem for absolutley ages although ive no posted because i assumed it was down to my very early copy of Winxp(d*vo*n)

However I have since upgraded my OS to WinXP SP2 and it is totally up to date with windows update. I have the latest drivers for my  gfx card,Motherb , etc.

When i select blocks of text with the mouse then click inside the select text the window doesnt repaint/refresh properly and only the selected line is repainted to reflect the change, the rest of the text is left 'selected' (It is not really selected just not repainted)

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Thx kel for your awsome Program

Hi asmrixstar

You could try to change the Option / Color & Keywords / Flicker free drawing.

Yeah Kelito i tried that before posting this tread and it still has the same problem :(

After playing with radasm for ages to try and to try and make a fuller
diagnosis of the problem for you i realized that the problem occurs when I select a
chunk of text ,use the mouse wheel to scroll and then deselect the text.

The editor then leave a large chunk of the text painted as 'selected' when it is not.
It appears you are not updating the 'selected text' position when scrolling with the mousewheel.

After this the the programs internal position appears screwed up permently often showing
large chunks of text selected when i have only selected one line

Example.

However this problem is most apparent when the edit area of RadAsm is forced to refresh the whole page.

I hope you can fix this problem soon as it grows increasingly frustrating

Thank you for Radasm a truly cool program :cheekygreen:

Grateful regards Rixstar

Hi asmrixstar

I am unable to reproduce the paint problem.
To try to find the cause of the problem could you try the following?

1. Change the xp theme
2. Turn off mouse software (if any installed)
3. Update graphics driver.

Let me know the result for each step.

Step 1 : http://static.flickr.com/95/216375665_d5c72996d3_o.jpg
i had selected up to  "__ FMT_OutputLine,edi,esi,eax,ecx"

I dont use any mouse software (standard windows drivers) and my drivers(ALL of them) are up to date.

Ive just noticed that the same problem is exibited when scolling using the scroll bar also.

Hi asmrixstar

Just noticed that you are not using a fixed font.
This causes a problem for the edit control.
I will try to fix the problem.

Meanwhile I recomend using the Dina font: http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Jibz/Dina/

The problem has been fixed and WAS down to using not fixed pitch fonts.

Personally i found Dina a little too 'square' but there are also some great font on this site....   http://www.lowing.org/fonts/

Thanks asmrixstar

The problem have been fixed in RAEdit (see RadASM 2.2.1.0 bugtest).
No need for a sticky.
