As count cannot change during selection of characters (eg. using mouse), the count should not be updated during selection when Refresh Automatically is enabled

Hello,

I am not sure what the issue is. Can you please describe more in details?

[Deipotent]

I have Word Count plugin enabled with pane on right side. The Refresh Automatically checkbox is enabled.

If I then select text with the mouse, the green progress bar on the bottom of the Word Count pane redraws, as if it’s recalculating the Word Count statistics.

As the Word Count statistics cannot change when making a selection with the mouse, the statistics should not be updated. They should only be updated when some text is inserted/deleted.

There are two columns in this plug-in (three if you include the headings). If you scroll to the right, you will find the “Selection Only” column, and it should be updated when you are selecting text by the mouse.

Ah, I didn’t see that. It’s not a bug then.

However, as the exact same selection statistics are already shown in the status bar, can you remove the selection statistics from the Word Count plugin, and so make it only refresh automatically when the text has changed ?

Deipotent>>> “are already shown in the status bar”

But only if one has enabled it via “Tools > Customize > Status”
