Last night I wrote about iTerm, and how much I was enjoying using certain features including text dragging. Unfortunately, the latest release, 0.8.1, isn't very good with the text dragging. Wanting to support the app, I decided to take a look and see if it had been reported as a bug yet. It had. A person by the name of vinc17 left a comment noting that version 0.8.2 has better text dragging support. I went ahead and tried it out (see their cvs section) and found that it's true, but with an exception.

I poked and prodded and the conclusion I came to is that text dragging seems to work great until you have enough in your buffer to have a vertical scroll bar. Then the functionality seems to work poorly.

So it's at this point that I suppose I should point out that we're talking about an open source app that's in development. It can't be expected to be perfect, but it's nice to see that even a little progress is being made. Yay for progress!
