If I use the left arrow key, the cursor moves to one character to the left of the previously selected text. It feels like the resultin position of the cursor has gone one character too far left or right. > > This is intentional, just a different way that things work.

If I select text in sam, and then hit the left arrow key, the cursor moves one character to the left of the initially selected text, and if I hit the right arrow key, the cursor moves to the right of the first character of the previously selected text. This also seems odd. > > > > This one, I'd call a bug. > > > In Windows, MacOS and all the Linux graphical text manipulation apps I have tried, if you select text and then hit the left arrow, the cursor moves to the beginning of the selection, and the right arrow moves to the end of the selection. This feels like the more appropriate behaviour to me. Am I out to lunch? > > > > Thanks, > > > > Scott > >
