AFAIK Terminal doesn't use BTextView, but you are right, it's slow in StyledEdit for example

Interestingly, the problem doesn't show up in StyledEdit.

Component: General → Applications
Description: modified (diff)
Platform: → All
Summary: [BTextView] slow text selection → [Terminal] slow text selection

This is a Terminal specific problem.

Component: Applications → Applications/Terminal

Is there any reason why we still use prefixes like "[Terminal]" in the summary instead of just selecting (or adding) the affected component and leaving the summary clean?

hrev21524 seems to have fixed the problem. Although we might think about reusing BTextView for Terminal, instead of the own rolled implementation.

comment:7 by axeld, 17 years ago

There are several reasons why the usage of BTextView is inappropriate currently:

  • it does not support changing the background color per character
  • it has one large text buffer and no hard character-level word wrapping

Of course we could extend BTextView, but I guess keeping the status quo isn't too bad either.
