"Find Selection" 4 line limit

[Offer Kaye]

Hi,
I have a problem which involves the "Find Selection" (ctrl-h)
functionality. If I select up to 4 lines, "ctrl-h" finds the next
occurrence. If I look for more lines, e.g. 5 lines selected, NEdit
doesn't find the next occurrence. I was wondering if this was a
problem only for me or do other people experience it?

Output of my "nedit -V":

I've seen some threads on the list about a possible NEdit 5.6. If this
is a problem which is widespread does any NEdit dev think it would be
possible to fix this for 5.6? I know it's not a top priority issue but
it seems like such an arbitrarily small limit, I was hoping there was
a simple solution :)

The nedit version 5.6 has been released as a source only release. I
have been using it for a couple of months and tried the Find selection
functionality on it with up to 8 lines, and it seems to work. I don't know
what the limit is in 5.6, but it is definitely higher than 4 lines

My version info is:

Hi,
has it been released, or just tagged for testing before a real release? There is no sign of a 5.6 version on nedit.org.

By the way, will there be a motif-static binary release?

You can find the source at the www.nedit.org site. Got to the "download"
page then to the "source code" page. I used the GIT repository conversion
as that is the archive format that I know best, but there are instructions
for getting it from CVS and Mercurial also. There is no indication of a
version 5.6 on the web page, but the repositories have "rel-5-6" tags in
them indicating the release version.

As far as I know, no one has made a tarball of it available yet, and
according to the messages on this list from early July, there are no plans
to create a binary version since none of the developers have the time to
do it.

Unfortunately, your are misleading, there is no REL-5-6 tag. Ergo no
5.6 release.

Bert,

Sorry to be misleading. You are correct. I mistook the "rel-5-6" branch
label shown in the gitk browser for a tag. However, I have been using it
for almost two months, and have not had any problems with it. In my
view, it is much better than version 5.5

In any case, I'll be quiet now.

George

Please, don't be quiet. Maybe such headups lets the ball rolling
again. Anyway, I don't see a REL-5-6 branch either. I only know of the
BETA-5-6 branch.

Bert,

The active branch in the git conversion archive is labeled "rel-5-6", but it
is tied to the CVS as "remotes/origin/BETA-5-6", which is probably the
BETA-5-6 you are seeing.

If I had the time, and knew what to do I would be willing to help get the
release put together. Of course those are two BIG if's. I don't have a lot
of time, and I really have no idea what is needed to get a release ready.

George

The nedit version 5.6 has been released as a source only release. I
have been using it for a couple of months and tried the Find selection
functionality on it with up to 8 lines, and it seems to work. I don't know
what the limit is in 5.6, but it is definitely higher than 4 lines.

Look at the value of SEARCHMAX in source/nedit.h

I've set it as high as 32767 with no ill effects.
