Hi John,
I submitted a patch which you included in 1.3.9. The patch did the
following:
When handling input which is removed
due to a "repeated" opcode, correctly update the mapping from input to
output positions; i.e. the outputPos array and the returned cursorPos.
Unfortunately, as explained in this thread:
//www.freelists.org/post/liblouis-liblouisxml/patch-Correct-input-to-output-position-mapping-for-removed-repeated-text,3
it caused a rather nasty regression. I did come up with an alternative
to this patch, but I'm not sure that was the right solution either.
You noted that you had a more correct solution for this which you
applied in 1.4.0. However, I noticed that you didn't remove my existing
patch from 1.3.9. Furthermore, that still doesn't seem to fix the problem.
Do you have any further ideas on this one? I can try to provide more
test cases or explanation if needed. It can be a rather frustrating bug
for NVDA users.
Thanks!
