G’day,

The block indenting functionality in the JSP editor appears to be broken. If I select a number of lines of text in the JSP editor and hit <tab> or <ctrl><tab>, unselected lines are also indented or unindented along with the selected lines.

I haven’t worked out what determines which lines are indented and which ones aren’t. It might happen to all lines within the enclosing scriptlet (<% %>) tags, but I’m not 100% sure about that (plus this problem also occurs for raw HTML, and I they aren’t enclosed in scriptlet tags).

Cheers,
Peter

I just noticed that this issue was raised against 2.6.4, where it is marked as “fixed in 2.7RC1” (see the thread entitled “JSP Editor tab indenting problem in version 2.6.4”). I’m reasonably sure I’m running 2.7RC1 but am still seeing the problem. Is there some other magic that’s required to get this to work?

Cheers,
Peter

Peter,

Interesting. I’ve opened this up as a bug in our internal tracking system. It was my understanding that it was fixed in 2.7 RC1, but I couldn’t find a tracking entry related to it. There is definately one now. 🙂 Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for bringing this to our attention again so we can get it addressed.

I just upgraded from 2.7RC1 to 2.7RC2, and the “block indenting functionality” problem that pmonks described is still present. Code in a scriplet block as well as raw text (not in scriplet block and not an HTML tag) are affected.

I first noticed this problem when using 2.6.4 (no problem in 2.6.3), and it apparently wasn’t fixed in 2.7RC1.
