What is your Eclipse Build ID (Help > About)? I’m trying to rule out *everything* at this point.

Did you try a new workspace using File > Import to pull in your old projects and settings? I’ve seen old workspaces cause side effects very similar to a corrupt install before.

After this type of event occurs, upon pressing delete, you get a NullPointerException in the JSP editor. The delete does work, however, but changes aren’t seen until you move the current cursor line.

UGHH!!

I think the problem occurs when the JSP editor finds a syntax error, particularly in an option value as represented in the case below.

For instance, the following line of code does NOT create a syntax error (which thus causes the system to refresh propert outline, and causes the cursor to lag creating a mirrored type effect, and general frustration):

<select name="Demo1Op">
  <option value="<%out.print("<");%>" <%if(sDemo1Op.compareTo("<")==0){%>selected<%}%>><</option>
</select>

BUT! The following line of code DOES create the syntax error, causing the problem.

<select name="Demo1Op">
  <option value="<" <%if(sDemo1Op.compareTo("<")==0){%>selected<%}%>><</option>
</select>

It seems that the editor has a bug in which it can’t read a < into an option value. It thus doesn’t end the <option> tag, as seen in outline view. I think it then tries to parse the rest of the document into the still-open <option> tag.

Any ideas? Hope this helps!

Andy,
Using your code snippet above (both) and using the delete and backspace keys within the line at random places I was unable to produce any popups, BUT I would add that if you want to show < or > signs on your page, you have to use < and > char codes, this is the case with strict HTML as well. Try that and see if the editor stops mucking you up.

Has there been a resolution to this? It’s driving me crazy, and kills my productivity. Let me just turn the damn thing off!

jcvanvorst,
Can you go to your MyEclipse menu, click About MyEclipse, then “Configuration Summary” and paste the result here?

Also have you tried, in a clean separate setup, the Eclipse 3.2RC5 and MyEclipse 5.0M1 setup to see if the performance is better?
