convert column position to cursor column number

[Ernie Rael]

Hi all,

The following fails when I click on a line that has tabs preceding the
click position

def Click()
    var d = getmousepos()
    win_gotoid(d['winid'])
    cursor(d['line'], d['column'])
enddef

I can not find a function to convert as needed; and/or I'm missing an
option on some function.

Any help appreciated,
-ernie

That actually looks like a bug. The column is limited to the number of
bytes in the line, should be the number of screen columns that the text
has.
