Hi,

sometimes, in the JSP or XML editor, when I start typing at the end of a line, the chars are inserted right to left.

Thats funny, keeps me awake when typing, as I have to type in the wrong order to get it right.

How can I turn off this feature? 😉

brgds,

Papick

Papick,

This issue was fixed in our current milestone builds, could you tell us your Java, Eclipse and ME versions?

If you’re using an earlier version of ME, you have to keep your Properties View open and active before opening the xml / jsp editor. Thereafter, you may activate any other view but do not *close* the Properties View.
You may also notice that the backward typing will not occur the first time you open the file, but the second and perhaps subsequent times.

If you’re using an ME 4.0 milestone already and / or experiencing different symptoms, do let us know so that we can isolate the problem and make sure it’s fixed.

Best,
Brian.

Hi, thanks for the reply…

Its 4m2 for 3.1 with jdk 1.5_04 on a winXP notebook…

Papick,

Can you give us a reproducable case after which this bug occurs?

I have a workaround mentioned here:
https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/html-editor-issue/&highlight

Can you see if it works for you? Please let me know how it turns out as this will help us track it down.

Also, can you please post the stack trace from your log when backward typing occurs in this thread. I have a feeling I know what it will be already, but I’d like to make sure.

Thanks,
Brian

I’m experiencing this problem now, editing a XML file using MyEclipse 4.0M2 and Eclipse 3.1.

I’ve seen this too but I couldn’t isolate the conditions under which it occurred or repeat it.

This was on Win XP Pro SP2/jdk1.5.0_3/Eclipse 3.1/MyEclipse4.0M2 for 3.1

Guys please try the workaround so we can know if this is the same bug.
