Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/rivo/tview/issues/531

It seems a click on a TextView in a grid layout always selects the topmost visible region.

To reproduce:

add a grid layout
add a textview
add enough paragraphs/regions with highlight IDs to the text view
click on a region in the bottom of the text view
the topmost row is selected

Maybe I missed something..?

Cheers,
Normen

I tried this but could not reproduce it. Could you please paste a short program that illustrates this?

Hmm.. You're right, I tried and I couldn't, it worked as expected.. Must be something in my code then o_O Just wondering what - I don't do much different really..

It appears that having a region terminate at EOL triggers this. To reproduce:

Edit tview/demos/presentation/textview.go
Insert a line to textView2 const, something like: ["99"]foo[""]
All regions following the insertion are unselectable and clicking on them selects region 99.
Adding a character after the closing region tag causes correct behavior.
