Texinfo 4.5: info: select reference wrapped over line -> wrong node

[Richard Dawe]

Hello.

I noticed recently in info (originally from texinfo 4.2, but reproduced with
texinfo 4.5) that if a reference wraps over onto a line which also has a
reference on it and I select the wrapped reference at the start of a line,
then it goes to wrong node.

Below is a some texinfo source, to demonstrate and reproduce this. I'm working
with an 80 column terminal.

If I build the info docs and then do "info -f ./test.info", I see:

---Start display snippet---
File: test.info,  Node: Top,  Next: areallyreallylongname,  Prev:
baabaablacksh
eep,  Up: (dir)



* Menu:

* areallyreallylongname::
* baabaablacksheep::

   This is a boring sentence, just to ensure a line break (*note
areallyreallylongname::). *Note baabaablacksheep::.
---End display snippet---

So I'm interested in "areallyreallylongname", so I go to the start of the
line:

areallyreallylongname::). *Note baabaablacksheep::.

and hit enter. For some reason I end up at the node "baabaablacksheep".

Presumably info scans for the first "*[Nn]ote" and goes to that node?

This seems liek a usability bug to me.

Please CC me on replies, as I'm not subscribed to bug-texinfo.

Thanks, regards,

---Start test.texi---
\input texinfo   @c -*-texinfo-*-

@setfilename test.info

@node Top, areallyreallylongname, baabaablacksheep, (dir)
@top

@menu
* areallyreallylongname::
* baabaablacksheep::
@end menu

This is a boring sentence, just to ensure a line break
(@pxref{areallyreallylongname}). @ref{baabaablacksheep}.

@node areallyreallylongname, baabaablacksheep, Top, Top

areallyreallylongname

@node baabaablacksheep, Top, areallyreallylongname, Top

baabaablacksheep
