671844 - GCLI fails to re-position the cursor correctly on increment/decrement operations

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools Graveyard :: Graphic Commandline and Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Joe Walker [:jwalker]]

For example in the current 'gcli selboolnum' command, with the cursor represented by a |

> gcli selboolnum chrom|e 42

If you press <UP>, you get:

> gcli selboolnum ie 42|

(i.e. the cursor stays in the same place)
What is probably more expected is:

> gcli selboolnum ie| 42

So the cursor remains bounded by the argument being changed, so that future mutations happen to the same argument.

This describes the situation after commit 29c5c21, which partially addresses this problem.

Resetting priorities because these P* levels are very out of date.

This isn't a particularly useful bug to have on file.
It's esoteric, and we don't need to track it given the current level of investment in GCLI.
