#122 lines truncated when scrolling
Using nedit 5.2 under RH 7. When scrolling through a text file, random lines are truncated and then restarted on the next line. This happens apparently randomly and without warning EVEN WHEN I'VE NOT MADE ANY CHANGES TO THE FILE. The same thing happened with 5.1.1 under RH7 and Mandrake 7.x.

A little more detail would help here. Is this "continuous
wrap" mode, and you're expecting a different wrap mode? Is
the file actually changed on disk?
Are you using an old version of LessTif, or the official
Linux binary from our website?
Please send the first 10 or so lines from "Help > Version"
on 5.2.

Are you using a variable-width font in conjuction with
continuous wrap mode and syntax highlighting? We've had
some recent fixes in this area, but you can work around it
by using the same sized fixed-pitch font for all your fonts.

Hi.
As a matter of fact I was indeed using syntax highlighting
but I don't recall the font. It was probably the default
font.
Thanks.

The continous wrap related fixes cannot have caused this
(the bugs only showed when the file was modified).
It looks to me as if you were browsing through a file
of which the lines were slightly longer than the width
of the window, and that you were using continous wrapping
mode. This could result in the effect that you describe.
If that's the case, increasing the window width or turning
off countinous wrapping should make the problem disappear.

There is a long standing bug in continuous wrap mode where
it does not get the line numbers right if you cause a line
to wrap. The line numbers will be off from the continuation
of the wrapped line to end of the window.
To get the numbers right you have to force a window redraw.
For example, scroll the offending line offscreen and back again.

Andrew, can you be more specific ?
Is there a more detailed bug report? If not, can
you open a new one (including version, scenario,...),
because it has probably little to do with this report.

No more responses to the original bug report,
and the second one was reported separately (and
solved). Closing this.
