Sigil highlight Book View No Longer Shows in Code View

Themus · 10-03-2012, 09:57 PM

Does highlighting text in book view in order to see what code is being used in Code view no longer work. I used to remember that working and an online video shows the YouTube video highlighting text in the Book View, and then in order to observe what codes are being used, switch over to code view: and there you would be at the same place.

Now when I highlight text in Book View and go to Code View, I am always at the top of the code and never taken to where I have highlighted it in Book View.

Is this feature gone in an update and I just didn't notice it till now?

Thank You!

@Themus - it would rather help if you told us what version of Sigil you were using and your OS... if you are using the 0.5.90x betas, then report it on the beta thread describing exactly your steps to reproduce it.

If you are using one of the earlier versions (like 0.5.3 or earlier) then yes there are various synchronisation bugs in the code. These have been fixed for the 0.5.90x beta builds, unless you have managed to find a new edge case for it (hence why we would need exact repro steps).

I am running 5.902 Windows 7 -64 bit. Looks like I need to try 5.906 beta.
