The published version of lines.love was broken for almost an hour. The
cursor would render one position to the right of where it really is. To
fix it, this commit rolls back 26ba6e4e5a. There doesn't seem a good
way to test it.
I've been sloppy about this so far, and outside of tests I can't find
any examples where it matters, but it matters in a potential fork where
I'm rendering multiple columns of text.
It's unfortunate that my tests have this level of brittleness. What I'd
really like to assert in many of these changed lines is that the text
stays inside the margins and that more text would overflow margins.
I have a set of changes that passes all tests, but I'm going to commit
them very carefully to ensure I don't miss any call-sites. In this
commit I'm adding the args to:
- Text.draw
- Text.tweak_screen_top_and_cursor
But calls within them don't yet pass them where they should. In this
manner I'm going to progress systematically from the top down.
I can't believe I didn't catch this until now. All I had to do is open
MobyDick.markdown from https://www.hogbaysoftware.com/posts/moby-dick-workout,
press page-down and click on the top screen line (or any screen line
containing the same line as the top screen line). Easy to catch with any
file containing lots of overly long lines, as happens in particular at
the start of Moby Dick.
I _had_ seen this problem before, but it seemed to disappear after
unrelated changes, and I convinced myself I'd fixed it as a side-effect.
The bug just failed to manifest if the top line happened to start at the
top of the screen. Scroll down a few pages in Moby Dick and the dialogue
starts and line length drops precipitously.
Scenario: backspacing until a line takes up fewer screen lines, then
pressing `down`.
I've gone through and checked that fragments and screen_line_starting_pos
are now cleared together everywhere.
I'm giving up finding a more generalized solution. The issue is that we
need the correct selection state right up to the point where we modify
Lines, in order to capture precise undo state.
Hopefully there aren't any other keychords that should clear the
selection.
We just need to ensure textinput events never make use of selection
state.
All tests are passing, but I'm aware of a couple of issues. But now we
can keep all the special cases in one place.
Now all the cases that clear Selection1 do so in a very consistent way
at the end of each case. And cases that set Selection1 symmetrically do
so at the start of each case.
Bugfix: we want selections to persist even when we lift up the shift
key.
This requires hoisting some code inside every case inside the whole
keypress hierarchy, to ensure we never clear selections before
textinput events can handle them.
Current cross-cutting concerns we're explicitly scattering code for.
- autosave
- undo
- selection management
To reproduce:
click to position cursor at end of a line
hit enter
press any key
before:
newline got erased and key got added to previous line
now:
newline is preserved
The new test checks a generalization of this.
It might reduce wear and tear on disk, and losing 3 seconds of data
doesn't feel catastrophic (short of a C-z rampage).

Not sure where that idiom comes from or why strings work in some places
(auto-coercion?). I picked it up off some example apps. But
https://love2d.org/wiki/love.mouse.isDown says it should be an integer.
manifestation: clicking past end of a long, wrapping line containing
non-ASCII would cause the cursor to disappear rather than position past
end of screen line. Hitting enter would then throw an assertion with the
following stack trace:
Error: text.lua:381: bad argument #2 to 'sub' (number expected, got nil)
stack traceback:

cause: the click caused a call to Text.to_pos_on_line whose result was
not on a UTF-8 character boundary.
fix: make to_pos_on_line utf8-aware.
