[Geany] Strange Copy - Paste with other applications (Windows) - Users

20 Dec 2006


      Hello World, hello Enrico,
I noticed a strange copy-paste behavior of geany when copying text from 
other applications under Windows (XP Pro SP2 + all patches).
I have the following text in geany:
type
   TPcharArray = array[0..0] of pchar;
   PPcharArray = ^TPcharArray;
iconv_t = pointer;
   iconvlistfunc = function (namescount : cardinal; names : PPcharArray; 
data : pointer) : integer;
and now I copy the following text from Ultra - Edit to geany, the cursor 
located at the first column of the "type" line:
var
   idx : integer;
   labelItem : TProgItem;
   newLabelItem : TLabelNameItem;
   retCmd : ICommand;
   data : cmdLabelT;
The result:
vartype
   idx : integer;  TPcharArray = array[0..0] of pchar;
   labelItem : TProgItem;  PPcharArray = ^TPcharArray;
   newLabelItem : TLabelNameItem;
   retCmd : ICommand;  iconv_t = pointer;
   data : cmdLabelT;  iconvlistfunc = function (namescount : cardinal; 
names : PPcharArray; data : pointer) : integer;
That's actually not what I expected...
Cut-Copy-Paste within geany works without problems..., both editors use 
the CRLF linefeeds and geany is in <INSERT> mode

Best regards
