We are running version 4.1.1 GA Build 20060228-4.1.1-GA. When editing a static HTML page we use the Copy/Paste feature to copy a block of text and paste it to another location on the same page.

While performing this operation we note the resulting HTML code looks fine. When completed, we save and deploy the code to our IIS web server. When we run the page it renders broken in the web browser but, the preview in MyEclipse HTML editor appears fine.

We’re somewhat baffled at what could be going wrong here, any insight would be appreciated.

[Riyad Kalla]

If you view source does the page look fine? If you close the page, restart MyEclipse and open the file again, does the content of the HTML page look fine? (you have to restart and reopen the file, we had a bug that had to do with invalid file states being shown)

Also if you try a clean install of Eclipse 3.2RC5 and MyEclipse 5.0M1 into new directories with the same page, do you have the same problem? (please do not replace your current setup, just install into new locations the new versions for testing).

[Fran_Varin]

Hi Riyad,

We were working on trying the suggestion in your first paragraph and we noticed some additional behavior that seemed significant to us so, here goes.

We open the HTML file and select the “design/source” tab so that we can view the changes to the actual HTML code as we make the text changes in the “design” pane. We start by simply adding some additional text to an existing paragraph. We then verify that the change is between the “span” tags for the paragraph.

We then highlight and copy the text. Next, we move to a different paragraph on the same page and place the cursor (in the design pane) where we wish to perform the paste. When we paste, we noticed that the bottom pane (source pane) scrolls from top to bottom. It seems that the cursor is moving throughout the entire source for the page.

When that completes (it happens very quickly) we then notice that the entire page has been restructured. Some content (comments) have been moved from the bottom of the page to the top immediately under the opening “body” tag. Also, some inline JavaScript has been deleted. Also, it appears that some of the “new line” characters have been ignored or deleted after the “reformat” behavior.

I’m not sure what this behavior is or why it is happening. Is there some kind of setting in the HTML editor that needs to be tweeked?

[Riyad Kalla]

Fran,
I’d like to confirm this as soon as possible. Can you email me the specific page you were editing to support@genuitec.com ATTN Riyad with a link to this post so I know why I’m getting it?

Also please tell me exactly what to highlight and exactly where to paste it, I’ll go from there and confirm any bugs I find and file them as high priorities.

[Fran_Varin]

Riyad,

Thanks for the response…I sent an Email to the link you provided in your response. I included a .html page that you can use as a sample and also Word document that details how we create the problem. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

[Riyad Kalla]

Fran I got your detailed email and confirmed some definite weirdness, we are having a look.

[Fran_Varin]

Is “definite weirdness” a technical term? (…LOL !)

That’s good news that we have a repeatable test case for the problem. Please keep me informed regarding what you find. If you need to contact me you can feel free to use the phone # and extension on my Email

Fran

[Riyad Kalla]

Will do, thanks Fran.

[Fran_Varin]

Hello Riyad, I just wanted to check in to see if there has been any progress on this issue?

[Riyad Kalla]

Nothing yet, it may take a while. THe new designer will be in Milestone 2, so worse case scenario is you/I test it when M2 comes out and if the bug is still there, I file a high priority bug report against it and it gets fixed.

[Fran_Varin]

OK, is there a general timeframe for M2? I’m asking because someone here will definately want to know. Cut/Paste is an important function for one group of page designers that use that feature quite a bit in other tools.

[Riyad Kalla]

End of June, we are syncing it up with the Eclipse 3.2 release to have a compat release for folks and get all our functionality out there for testing and smashing on then just fix all the bugs, stabalize and tune it.

[Fran_Varin]

Hi Riyad,

I have downloaded Eclipse 3.2 and the MyEclipse M2 build to test the problem with the editor as recommended a while back.

I am able to launch Eclipse after the configuration but, when I try and open an html file using the “MyEclipse Visual HTML Designer” I receive a ClassNotFoundException in the Error Log.

Hi Riyad,

As a shot in the dark for something to try, I restarted Eclipse with the “-clear” option and the problem in my last post was resolved.

Perhaps more importantly, the initial copy/paste problem appears to have been addressed in the M2 release as well.

We will need to move to the new release as soon as a stable version is released. Do you have a time frame for when you feel MyEclipse will ge consider GA?

[Riyad Kalla]

GA is planned for the start of August, right now the 6th. I’m glad to hear both issues were addressed.
