Description Noopur Gupta CLA 2016-03-16 07:46:58 EDT
Ubuntu 14.04, I20160315-2000.

- In Hidipi mode, enable Block Selection Mode in Eclipse.

- In the following example, try to draw the long caret represented by '|'s.

class C11 {
	// test
	void test(char[] arg) {                   |
		String.valueOf(arg).equals("foo");|
		String.valueOf(arg).equals("foo");|
	}
}

- While drawing the long caret, try to drag it to left very slightly in order to select a column in the block.
=> It selects part of the column in block, though it should select in multiples of column in the block.

- Now, type a letter (example: a).
=> The 'a' letters are not aligned in a single column in the block.

Is this still an issue?

No response in awhile so I'm going to close this one. There has been lots of HiDPI fixes since 4.6 -- please try with a recent I-build and reopen this ticket if the issue persists.
