When looking at the split Design/Source view (a JSP in my case), the Design view doesn’t refresh properly. Whenever I cut or paste several lines of html, it gets its knickers in a twist and displays all my Java code as if it were plain text. Seems it simply ignores the ‘<%’ and ‘%>’ markers. After I manually refresh, it looks fine again.

Have to say, though, I still love the fact that JSPs in Version 5 load so much quicker than in Version 4, and that the design view starts up and refreshes much quicker as well… 🙂

Update: Just noticed that the problem described above only occurs if cutting/pasting lines that directly border on a ‘<%’ or ‘%>’ marker, otherwise (i.e. if I cut/paste lines of HTML code surrounded by other HTML code) it refreshes just fine. (Hope that makes sense…)

aaamos,
Could you please go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste that information here for me please.

Thanks.

Sure, here goes… (does that mean you don’t get the same behaviour?)

Can you please post a sample for me so that I can try reproducing this issue at my end?

Thanks.

Very simple…

1) Create a file test.jsp with nothing but the following in it:

<%
    if (true) {
%>
<p>some text...</p>
<%
    } // end if true
%>

2) Open the file if you haven’t already and change into split Design/Source view. The Design panel displays the tag symbols with “some text…” in the middle.

3) Select the text in the p tag including the tag itself, i.e. the entire 4th line (so that you’re bordering on the ‘<%’ and ‘%>’ tags as mentioned in a previous post).

4) Cut (Ctrl+X or however you prefer to cut text).

5) Notice that the Design panel displays something like the following:

if (true) {   } // end if true

i.e. the Design view needs to be refreshed before it displays properly again (contents instead of code).

Hope that helps reproduce it…

Cheers,

Amos

Hi aaamos,
I’m logging this bug for my dev team. I’ll get back to you with an update soon as possible.
