I have confirmed that the word counting logic somehow focuses on the cursor, and I'll either fix that or follow a model similar to the word count dialog where we update in response to editing actions only. Unfortunately I'm currently on the road for a couple of days. I'll continue working on it on Saturday most likely. If the regressions are too bad we can revert the change until we have a fix. Sorry for the trouble. <div class="gmail_quote">On May 31, 2012 4:29 PM, "Ivan Timofeev" <<a href="mailto:timofeev.i.s@gmail.com">timofeev.i.s@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Another nasty side-effect: <a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50540" target="_blank">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50540</a> Who could have thought!
