Visual Feedback Bug
Posted: Sat Oct 09, 2004 8:32 am
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.
