[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47414] Folding editor text breaks cursor movement

[Philip Nienhuis]

Update of bug #47414 (project octave):

              Item Group:         Feature Request => Incorrect Result       
        Operating System:               GNU/Linux => Any

Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed.

I tested  your patched on Windows 7; I find that the cursor does properly
enter e.g. an if block but gets hidden and the editor scrolls up (apparently
the number of lines corresponding to e.g., ignored else(if) clauses and
comment lines) with each dbstep command (w/o unfolding). 
Once past a folded block the cursor reappears.
It is only that the if block doesn't unfold to show the current line.

To me this is a bug rather than a feature request as the cursor can in the end
scroll out of sight (out of the visible editor pane) with unspecified
consequences.

Indeed your patch fixes this.

(One might argue that once past the previously folded block it should fold
back in again but that would be too smooth.... ;-) )
