[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45610] wrong commenting (ctrl+R) behavior in GUI editor under Windows

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #45610 (project octave):

I'm pretty clueless with the Windows build.  I'll ask the discussion list.

I tried the change on Linux as well.  I did notice that the highlighted region
no longer included the "blank" or "wrap around" space at the end of the last
line.  That's to be expected, given the change, but I'm a little concerned
that it might affect the user's preferred behavior of line select.  For
example, I've always preferred that the last CR be included in the selected
text so that when Cntrl-X or yank is done, all the lines are removed and there
isn't a blank line left behind.  Maybe I'm describing that well, but think of
placing the cursor at the front of a line and then use shift-downarrow to
select whole lines.  If more subtle behavior is desired for the way the lines
are selected, we might need to alter the programming slightly.

It's odd though that Windows behaves a bit differently than linux.  Let's see
what response is to this change first.
