Oxygen XML Forum

Hi,

Editing xml documents in text mode I see a strange behaviour when working with strings containing underscores.

Reproduce it like this: 1) Place the cursor in front of the FOO for the snippet above.
2) Press CTRL+Right arrow to jump to the end of the word. It will jump to between the two 'O's. I would have expected it to jump to the position behind the second O.

Repeat the steps above for BAR and it will work as expected. From what I see it works fine if the next group of characters a) starts with a digit b) isn't there at all, i.e. the string just ends with an underscore or for the last group of characters e.g. in FOO_BAR it will work for BAR. The same unexpected behaviour occurs when using ctrl+shift+arrow to mark words.

Interestingly double clicking FOO correctly selects the complete 'FOO' and not just 'FO'.

Newest build in which I reproduced this:<oXygen/> XML Author 24.0, build 2021101506

Thanks,

Hello,

I can confirm the behaviour. The "next word" detection is trying to be smart but seems to be confused when all caps are being used, it assumes a capitalized word starts there.
e.g.
FooBar, FooB_a_r, Foo_Bar_01
In all cases it stops just before the capitalized B. This is what was intended.

I've logged this on our issue tracking tool to be investigated and handled differently.

Double clicking works differently, it ignores capitalization. Symbols and spaces are the only separators.
