Regression

  • When user types a key to insert a character into the document, the caret is not moved to be in front of that just-inserted character. Instead, the caret stays at its original position, reversing any inserted words/phrases via user keyboard input (See #472). To work around this, override the replace method:
public void replace(int from, int to, StyledDocument<PS, SEG, S> document) {
    if (from == to && document.length() == 0) {
        return; // ignore changes that do nothing. Or TextChange throws IllegalArgumentException
    }
    super.replace(from, to, document);
    int newCaretPos = getCaretPosition() + document.length();
    selectRange(newCaretPos, newCaretPos);
}

New features

  • Expose API for "scroll[X/Y]By" to scroll view by specific amount
  • Add "show()" methods to force viewport to display a specific line at top, bottom or within viewport
  • Better support multi-line wrapped paragraphs API
    • Added method to get the number of lines a wrapped multi-line paragraph spans
    • Renamed "line" methods to "paragraph" methods and implement actual "line" methods
    • Shift + Home/End moves caret to start of line, not paragraph
  • Add API for caret/selection bounds on screen
  • All areas are now FXML-ready

Fixed Bugs

  • Fixed "-fx-highlight-fill" CSS issue
  • Fixed "-fx-caret-blink-rate" CSS issue
