Description emi 2008-12-10 14:43:15 UTC

Hy,

BaseCaret doesn't use the CARET_COLOR_OVERWRITE_MODE value anymore, it uses CARET_COLOR_INSERT_MODE for insert *and*
overwrite.

This seems to be a regression starting revision 84624 : d8ca6bd84a75 (
http://hg.netbeans.org/main/diff/d8ca6bd84a75/editor.lib/src/org/netbeans/editor/BaseCaret.java ).

See the attached patch which fixes the problem.

PS: I don't take credit for this patch, I'm just posting it here. It's done by Andreea Pitici, a work colleague of mine
from Joseki Bold.

Use CARET_COLOR_OVERWRITE_MODE in BaseCaret

Comment 2 Miloslav Metelka 2009-01-07 13:01:40 UTC

Thanks for the patch. However there must be a visual setting added into the tools->options as well (currently there's
just 'Caret color').

Comment 3 emi 2009-01-07 13:16:33 UTC

Indeed I guess there should also something in Tools->Options.

But that doesn't keep the bug from happening when CARET_COLOR_OVERWRITE_MODE is changed programatically. This is how we
found the bug actually.

Comment 4 Jiri Kovalsky 2009-03-30 15:15:48 UTC

Miloslav Metelka agreed that he would review and integrate a patch for this issue contributed by the NetFIX [1] team.
