TextPane Span problem
Hi all,
I was trying the new TextPane component, but there seems to be a problem
when applying bold or italic to the selected span: the last character is not
included in the selection.

You had said this in your original email:
"I really need a text editor, or, muche better, a rich text editor."
The new TextArea can certainly serve as a text editor, though as you noted it does not support rich text editing.

By new TextArea you mean the TextPane? By rich text I mean something like the
rtf format.
Is the TextArea able to open an rtf file? I thought it was not.

Is there some reason you cannot use the new TextArea component?

Not easily. We have tried a few times to support embedding Swing components, but it is not straightforward.

I knew it was the "old" textarea, good to know that it is experimental. I
really need a text editor, or, muche better, a rich text editor.
Is it possible to integrate a Swing rich text editor in a pivot application?

FYI, TextPane is not a new component. It is a renamed version of the TextArea component from earlier versions with some rich text editing functionality added. It is currently considered experimental.

Yes, I see that too.
Although I think it is just a problem with the demo rather than the TextPane
component or skin.
See this method on LIne 463
TextPaneDemo#applyStyleToTextNode(org.apache.pivot.wtk.Span,
StyleApplicator, org.apache.pivot.wtk.text.TextNode, int,
org.apache.pivot.wtk.Span)
If I select the first bold 'abcd' and press the Italic button, the
'intersectionLength' variable gets set to 3 rather than 4, meaning that the
'd' is not included when the styling is applied.
JIRA does include 'demos' in the 'components' list, so feel free to create a
new issue.

I am just running the text_pane_demo in the pivot 2.0. I select some text and
then I press the button to
change the font to bold.

Can you please provide a short example demonstrating the issue?
