[Lazarus] Selection block/brace

[Vojtěch Čihák via Lazarus]

Hi,
 
I tried two items from Lazarus Edit menu: Select to Brace and Select Code Block. Both seem do nothing. Are they broken? I didn't use them before so I expexted they would do what their name say. I have Lazarus 1.9.0 r57693M FPC 3.1.1 x86_64-linux-qt.
 
Thanks
 
V.

Select to brace works well, if the caret is at a brace ()[]{}

"Code block" may not yet be implemented (check console output), needs to
be verified. If so should be hidden....

Hi,
Select to Brace does nothing, no matter if caret is outside or inside (),[] or {}.
What it shoulld do?
 
(abc|def) should select "def"?

It seems to only work, if the caret is either before the opening ( or
behind the )

It then selects the entire text (both brackets, and the content)

This is just from a quick test, using trunk (but a few weeks old)
