When you select a block of code, do something to it (cut it or wrap it with tags) and then UNDO the action you just did, the selection is off. Hard to describe. Can some one else try it and see if that's happening.
The process:
1. Select a block of code.
2. Cut it
3. Undo the cut
4. Cut it again
5. There should be some code left over that was cut the first time around.
No big deal but it's a little weird.

Confirming the issue... and yes, it does not happen if there are no blank lines in the text that was cut... (Not a practical solution...

Small example here:
http://www.creapsoft.co.uk/download?id=44ac4856
Some text highlighted, cut and then undone - the selection is different from the 'original' selection.
This doesn't occur if 'blank' lines are not selected, so it appears the characters from the blank line (carriage return and newline) is throwing it out somewhere.

Hi Karlis,
I can't seem to replicate the code snipping but it should be easy to see how this might happen. Likely it's this problem plus a half ounce of user error.
make a large selection that includes blank lines
cut it
undo
cut
undo
cut
undo
...
and you'll see the selection get smaller and smaller.
Thanks for looking into it.

a two year bump. Man I've been using the software for a while - I had no idea. :)
Is this still on the list?

Yes, it is. Unfortunately it is in the low priority list as it is very minor for most of us. The solution is ~4 weeks worth of programming and the benefit is rather small... this is why we have not fixed the undo yet. Complex third party code is not easy to update 
Re: Selecting a block, do something, then undo.
How do we move it up higher on the list? This is kindof serious, I think.

Re: Selecting a block, do something, then undo.
If enough separate requests from separate users are received, the item moves up. If it is an easy to implement item, it is done right away. Harder it is to do and less requests it causes, slower it moves up the list. For example, this problem has triggered 3 requests within last few years while PHP debugger improvements have been requested over 100 times, so naturally we did them first. Nothing is forgotten, however, everything is registered and sooner or later processed.Boofo wrote:How do we move it up higher on the list? This is kindof serious, I think.
