Bug Description
Binary package hint: gedit
Hi,
I was editing a text file when the cursor began to behave strangely. The file contained these lines:
CREATE TABLE people(
integer primary key,
name varchar(50),
age integer
)
When I put the cursor after the 'l' in 'people', the arrow key would not move the cursor to the right. Instead it jumped to the next line. Similarly, I could not add text at this position.
Viewing the file in a hex editor revealed a lot of spaces (284 to be accurate) after the opening parenthesis. Probably I've added those spaces without knowing it (resting my book "beginning Ruby" on the space bar ^ ^). Still, I feel the editor should handle a few hundred chars on a line without misbehaviour.
I attached a copy of the text file.
Thanks for developing and maintaining this simple but useful editor!

I can confirm the behaviour as described by leibnix above. This same file opened fine in "Leafpad" & did not show any of the described issues.
