{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Moving the caret past the *left* of the screen does not scroll the editor","articleBody":"## Description\r\nMoving your caret to the left (that is, outside the visible bounds of the editor) does not scroll the editor until the caret is quite far off screen. \r\n\r\n[Video](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4723091/126055395-d0d1afd9-8c4e-42d4-a87d-78be7b80bc93.mp4). In the video I move my caret past the left edge of the screen and insert a `b`, all without being able to see what I'm doing. Then I use the scrollbar to scroll the `b` into view, showing that I was able to insert it without the editor scrolling.\r\n\r\n## Expected Behavior\r\nThe editor should scroll to keep the caret on-screen at all times. It does this with the right edge, but not the left one.\r\n\r\n## Current Behavior\r\nThe editor does not keep the caret on-screen at all times if you are moving it to the left.\r\n\r\n## Steps to Reproduce\r\n1. Scroll the editor horizontally to the right\r\n2. You can move your caret off-screen to the left and it won't scroll the editor immediately\r\n3. If you go far enough to the left, the editor will scroll as expected\r\n\r\n## Your Environment\r\n* Processing version: 3.5.4\r\n* Operating System and OS version: Windows 10 Home 2004 build 19041.928\r\n* Other information: N/A\r\n\r\n## Possible Causes / Solutions\r\nThe editor seems to consider the line number gutter a part of the visible area, so when the caret is behind it, it does not scroll the caret into view.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/LoganDark","@type":"Person","name":"LoganDark"},"datePublished":"2021-07-18T04:14:29.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/6192/processing/issues/6192"}
