Description Kevin Haaland CLA 2001-10-10 22:39:05 EDT 
An instance of AbstractTextEditor uses an instance of MarkerRulerAction for its vertical ruler behavior.  MarkerRulerAction.getInitialAttribute
adopts the convention that charEnd points to the last character rather than one past the last character.  AbstractTextEditor.gotoMarker
adopts the convention that charEnd points to one past the last character.  Due to this inconsistency, breakpoint-enabled editors made by
subclassing these classes may generate breakpoints that when doubled-clicked, result in the highlighting of the corresponding entire lines
except without the last characters.

AbstractTextEditor, MarkerRulerAction and the API documentation should agree on the semantics of charEnd.

charEnd is specified in IMarker as exclusive. 
Changed MarkerRulerAction accordingly.
