Visual Feedback Bug

I've noticed that the Oxygen xls Editor occasionally gets confused about the nesting of elements, even when the document is well-formed.

The symmpton is that placing the cursor after a closing element (as
denoted by the * in the following examples)

<elem> ... </elem>* or <elem ... />*

does not result in undelining of the closing and corresponding
opening tokens. The problem seems to come up after editing has
caused a major loss of well-formedness, and persists after it has
been restored.

When the problem occurs it has a starting point in the file. Above
that point open and close tokens are properly undelined. Below that
point, no underlining occurs.

One workaround is to close and re-open eclipse, and if I remember
accurately, I think closing all editors has the same effect, but the
problem is not happening now and I cant confirm it.

Hope this is useful.

Bill.

Thanks for your post. As you noticed this is an unusual situation and we haven't been able to reproduce it.
Could you please send us a copy of the document in which the problem occurs or give a more detailed description of the context where it appeared.

I'll try to send you a protocol to produce the problem, but I'm not having any problems at the moment.
