On second thought, I might be better to address this issue in TextEditor directly and just add those text attributes to line-break characters if adjacent to the current text selection. We don't want to make text rendering slower than necessary. :-)

Best,

A new version of Graphics was added to project The Inbox:
http://source.squeak.org/inbox/Graphics-mt.463.mcz

==================== Summary ====================

Name: Graphics-mt.463
Author: mt
Time: 19 January 2022, 6:32:07.639177 pm
UUID: 20a970f6-bcf4-1747-b194-0aef3ad7edbc
Ancestors: Graphics-mt.462

Proposal: Ignore text attributes for line-break characters.

This makes it easier, for example, select a single line of text and change its font to something smaller than the default font. Usually you would need to also change the font of that line-break character to make the entire line smaller... well, it is possible:

1. Hit [Home] key.
2. Hold [Shift] and hit [End] key.
3. Hold [Shift] and hit [ArrowRight] key.

This proposal would make the third step unnecessary.
