  3.7RC6 Text Editor bug (Message 1 to 3 of 3)

Trying to collapse lines to suit my personal style, the editor deletes
non-highlighted text.

Consider the lines:

    pigment {
      color <1,1,1>
    }

What I want to end up with is

    pigment { color <1,1,1> }

I tab to the end of the pigment line, just right of the opening brace, hold down
Shift and tab to the end of the white-space preceding the color keyword, then
press Space.  This should change the text to read as:

    pigment { color <1,1,1>
    }

But instead the editor removed additional text and the result was

    pigment { 1,1,1>
    }

It appears the editor is moving down a full line, to the same column, and not
replacing only the highlighted segment, as expected.

The workaround, in this case, is to avoid using highlighting and make the
changes character-by-character.

This only appears to be an issue when end-of-line appears in the highlighted
text.

My apologies if this is a duplicate issue.

I confirm this odd behaviour.

Yes, this is a known problem with a known solution that will be part of 
the next release (the solution, not the problem ;-)).
