Comapring two files, clicking at a location jumps the cursor to a previous location on that line.

[Krammig]

I have come across an annoyance, but perhaps it is jut me overlooking a setting …

I have two files open for compare.

When I click at a position on a line, the screen jumps back to an earlier location on that line and thus I then have to go and find that location again and once again click in that location. Sometimes that is Ok, most time not.

What I usually have to do is after the screen jumps backwards to an earlier position, I then have to move the cursor to the location I want to alter that text.

Hope that makes sense.

Appreciate your feedback.
Cheers

@krammig ,

It might help you to turn on word wrap.

When I have word wrap off, if I’m at quite on line#2 :

and click on down on line#3, it scrolls the horizontal view left:

I assume this is what you are annoyed by.

If so, when I turn on word wrap, I can click back and forth between quite and down without any unexpected scrolling – because it all fits in one screen-width.

@peterjones Excellent, thanks for that Peter. That did the trick.
