Reloading page with markup misplaces cursor

[Joel Pettersson]

1. Enter the following text (excluding <cursor>) into a page:

Zim //markup// <cursor>feature is great.

2. Place cursor at the position indicated by <cursor>, that is, just before the word "feature".

3. Reload page.

Expected result: The word "markup" is in italic, the two pairs of "//" are gone, AND the cursor is still positioned just before "feature".

Actual result: The word "markup" is in italic, the two pairs of "//" are gone, BUT the cursor is *not* positioned before "feature", but instead in the middle of "feature".

It seems that the removed characters used for markup are not accounted for when positioning the cursor after a page reload.

I am running Zim 0.56 on Ubuntu 12.10:

Will keep the report open, but afraid this will be a "Won't Fix" for a long time. Reason is that in the pageview we do not have information from the parser, so we are not aware that the characters disappeared.

Moved to "won't fix" - auto-formatting option will help in this example to avoid reload
