Description Dani Megert CLA 2007-10-08 10:11:23 EDT 
N20071005-0010.

Platform Text is in the middle of moving away from its custom draw strategies and there is one missing piece: the I-beam strategy that is used to indicate the caret location when exiting linked mode. The I-beam is currently a vertical line on the left side of the given offset. The length is usually 0.

The important thing is that we can also mark positions behind the last character of a line by using a style range with offset= last char + 1 and length= 0.

Here's our code:
org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.SourceViewerDecorationSupport.IBeamStrategy.draw(Annotation, GC, StyledText, int, int, Color)
Comment 1 Dani Megert CLA 2007-10-08 10:18:24 EDT 
A possible solution would be to let underline style with lenght 0 do this.

Ping, is this still valid?
