ditto for me….no other plugins, Eclipse 3.0.0 id 200308281813, MyEclipse 3.6.2, on WindowsXP pro, sdk 1.4.2. The problem is intermitten, in that at times it works ok, other times it starts typing backwards. Can actually jump from correct behavior to incorrect behavior within editing the same line.
In trying to recreate the behavior, I copied an xml file that demonstrated the behavior to a new xml file, and the new xml file did not display the strange behavior (while editing). I did notice that the new xml file did not display any colors for the tags, all standard font normally used for the data between the tags. On the file that demonstrates the behavior, the colors green and black can be used within the same word, such as “<servlet-class>servlets.ProtectedServlet</servlet-class>” where the tags are purple<?>, ‘servlets.ProtectedSer’ is black, and ‘vlet’ is green. It’s almost like a keystroke combination triggers the behavior. It is strange that colors show in one version, while no colors whatsoever (other than black) show in a duplicate version.
I’ll try to pay more attention to when/how it starts, and post more info…I noticed the same problem. I did find that the “reverse input” behavior seems to happen if you create a new xml file using the new xml file wizard and delete all text on the page that comes up. However, I found that if you leave the default text there, move your cursor in between the <xml-body> tags, and start typing then you will find that the reverse editing does not happen. For what it’s worth I also have the same errors as one of the previous postings (the one with all the Assertion Failed statements).
That description was enough for us to replicate the problem and create an entry in our internal tracking system. We’ll get it addressed in a subsequent service release. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks to all for the diligent work in figuring out how to reproduce it.

MyEclipse SupportUnfortunately it was isolated after the freeze date for the 3.6.3 build. To fix it would’ve delayed the rollout by several days and there were already some critical capabilities that management felt needed to go out sooner rather than later.
Sorry, but we’ll get it in the next one.

MyEclipse SupportBump – bug still present in 3.6.4
Way too annoying. Went out and grabbed XMLBuddy plugin. If you guys are looking for an XML plugin to incorporate, this is a good one. I especially like being able to hit “validate” on a file and have it check the xml against the DTD and show errors.
Bump – bug still present in 3.6.4
Yes, it’s still there. 3.6.4 was rushed out in order to address some rather serious issues with the JSP editor, so all the development resources went to that.
The November release will correct this because we’re bringing out a new and greatly improved XML editor as part of our Struts support. Sorry for the delay, but it just didn’t make sense to invest the hours in finding and fixing this, when it only occurs on 3.0M4, when the entire editor is being replaced so soon.

MyEclipse SupportI am also experiencing this one, and it is very frustrating. I have to edit all XML files in the text editor. The ant script editor does not seem to have the problem (when editing build.xml) but that is not a MyEclipse provided editor – it is a standard Eclipse editor
Windows XP English
Eclipse 3.0.0 200310101454
MyEclipse 3.6.3 200310201200No other plugins. Was a fresh Eclipse install and a fresh MyEclipse install on top of it.

Don,
I apologize that this is frustrating you. In our tests, we’ve only been able to reproduce this problem by completely selecting and deleting all text in a document generated with the wizard. If you don’t do that, it doesn’t seem to occur much, in our experiments. But, you sound like you’re running into it rather often
In the next release (2.7 / 3.7), we’re completely replacing the XML editor so our management decided that they’d rather have us focus on the new functionality then spend a few hours running something down in an obsolete component that only affects the experimental version (3.x), especially since it seemed to take us quite a bit of work to make it occur at all.

MyEclipse SupportMost likely the week after Thanksgiving. Or, to those of you not in the US, first week of December.

MyEclipse SupportBy the looks of the date of the last post in this thread my issue is a blast from the past. I’m seeing this bug occasionally in the JSP Editor in 3.8.4. When it happens it also has the following symptoms: Changes don’t enable the Save button; If you go into the text editor in Eclipse, make the change and save, then open the JSP back up in the JSP Editor those changes aren’t reflected. Closing Eclipse and reopening resolves the issue.
