[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41798] GUI Command Window should scroll contents upon mouse selection hitting bottom or top limits

[Armin Müller]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #41798 (project octave):

Actually, the behaviour of Octave 3.8.1 on Windows is even more weird. I can
mark more text than is visible. Example:

1. Run these commands

   clc
   (1:100)'

2. Work through "less"

3. Manually scroll up to the top.
   => With the default windows layout, the last line I can see is number 44.

4. Move mouse to the top left of the command window. Click and hold left
button (to mark), move to the bottom right of the screen (beyond the command
window). Release left button.

5. Notice that no scrolling occurs, as Felipe indicated.

6. Copy

7. Paste into another editor
   => The last line pasted is number 71. Probably, this is dependent on
windows position and monitor size. In my case, it is the vertical position
where the monitor ends.

8. After line number 71, there are spurious characters (can not reproduce in
the above simple example, please try "rand(20)" instead).
   => Looks like some binary data structure.
