 I don't edit scripts extensively in SL, nor even make that many changes often. I recently noticed that when I select multiple lines and shift-tab to reduce the indent additional lines below the initial selection seem to get selected and their indention modified too. It does not do this with selecting lines and tabbing to increase their indent.

More or less fixed for next release.
By "more or less", I mean there are still corner cases where it badly un-indents one line past the selected block of lines, but these cases also happen with LL's official viewer (so, if you want them fixed some day, file a bug report for LL's viewer itself)... I however fixed the selection after un-indenting (unlike what happens with LL's viewer). The text editor UI is sadly extremely fragile and its code extremely dirty: basically, it relies on a linear cursor position (counted from 0 to the text total length) and does not have any idea at which line a given position falls... It would deserve a full rewrite, but I'm afraid I can't afford spending time on this. |

I appreciate you looking into this and improving it the best you can. I don't edit extensively in SL. If I need, I save the file out and make edits before reloading. I tried using the feature to spawn gedit but I never got used to it and the lack of syntax highlights made it harder to use. I could try to create my own syntax highlighting .lang file again though.
