UniScribe SynEdit painting

[Gárnet]

Hi!

I'm trying to implement correct complex script painting and caret handling in SynEdit.
I got few ideas, but there's one thing which blocks me to move further.

SynEdit wipes off a word in complex script if it is scrolled or moved behind the screen.

Before:


After moving behind the screen and restoring back:


It appears that it always paints only visible part of the word without taking into account
hidden part (which is essential if painting a complex script).

Is it possible at all to avoid this?

I can imagine how to deal with caret, buffer / display methods to support complex scripts,
but with that glitch I can't move along...

It sure would be possible. You would have to change quite some parts of the painting logic since SynEdit was never meant to support complex scripts. I don't know how to do it, though without looking into the code myself and trying out. I can just tell you it won't be that easy.
