I'm trying for the first time to use TextEdit in one of my windows.
I can display and scroll text; the problem comes with selections.
The selected area hilites just fine, and the startSel and endSel
fields get updated to the proper values. The problem is that,
the next time I make a selection, the previous hiliting is not undone;
TextEdit just happily inverts my new selection. After doing this for a while,
the window looks like some sort of demented checkerboard.
Inside Macintosh and every programming example I can find just call
TEClick, and seem to think that's sufficient; I'm doing the same, and
getting nowhere.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? What could cause this sort of
behavior?
Please answer by mail; no reason to bore everyone else with the answer
to such a basic question.
Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this.
