Re: "Lagrange v1.17 This release adds a host of small features,..."
Lots of great new features! I'm wondering, though: is there a way to disable the new scroll-on-select behavior near the top and bottom edges? Maybe I'm a bit old-fashioned, but I don't like text scrolling on my screen unless I am explicitly scrolling it.

@Asterisk Scroll-when-selecting is a pretty universal convention in GUIs. Without it, you can't select text that extends outside the screen just with the mouse.
I could adjust it to be less sensitive over the page area, so you actually have move the cursor further outside the page to get it to scroll?
🌧️ Asterisk · 2023-10-07 at 16:26:
Perhaps less sensitivity would be preferable.
But I can say I can't replicate scroll-when-selecting on any other program I have installed on my system -- none of my web browsers, text editors, terminal emulators, or IDEs do it. Maybe it's a platform-specific thing? I can't recall ever encountering it as a standard behaviour on any Linux or Windows software.
Edit: To avoid confusion, I'm not referring to scrolling when manually extending the selection past the bottom or top of the screen -- that is a universal feature. I'm referring to the new feature that automatically scrolls up or down when you select text that is near the top or bottom, even if you are only selecting horizontally.

I'm looking forward to using the new version :) Flatpak is still on v1.16.7; whenabouts do you think they'll have 1.17 available?
🕹️ skyjake [OP/mod...] · 2023-10-09 at 16:45:
@november No idea unfortunately. There was an odd-looking build error in the Flathub logs. Maybe I'll just try resubmitting the build, it could've been a Flathub server problem.
EDIT: Looks like a problem with the app's Flatpak manifest. I guess the linting rules have changed, because it's giving an error about the sandbox permissions that have been in use for a long time.

I've fixed the Flatpak build, and updated the runtime as well in case a newer SDL works better (it should). The new build should appear on Flathub soonish.

Any thoughts on when it will percolate to FreeBSD? Latest there is 1.16.5 as of Oct.9,2023
🕹️ skyjake [OP/mod...] · 2023-10-10 at 07:49:
@stack That would be up to whoever maintains the FreeBSD package/port. I haven't really been involved with it.
This release adds a host of small features, some of which I've been planning on doing for a long time. There are also recent suggestions from users that enhance day-to-day usage of the app. Highlights: support for submenus (bookmarks, page tools, split view, and user data), text snippets, additional search URLs, visual UI tweaks, resizable input/upload/bookmark dialogs, improved upload editor, new input prompt...
