Text editing with Scala Eclipse plugin

Hello,
 
I've been using the
Scala Eclipse plugin regularly for some time now, and I must say it is
definitely getting better (mostly from 2.7.4 to 2.7.5), so thanks for
this!
However, I still
come across a lot of quirks while editing Scala files:


  • when typing some
    quoted Strings, the editor seems to get lost, and I always see one letter less
    than what I typed. The letter appears only if I move to the next or previous
    line. (i couldn't precisely isolate the cause, but it seems related to
    parens)

  • when typing code,
    sometimes the editor gets corrupted, and every character is inserted at the
    same position, leading to reverse strings (siht ekil). The only solution is to
    close the file and reopen it.

Am I the only one
experiencing these problems? Are there filed bugs for those?
 
Thanks a
lot!
 
Gilles.

No, you're not alone. They're all fixed on trunk (but it's still not
quite ready for general consumption).

Cheers,

Miles

Considering that 2.8 won't be out and stable for quite some time to come, would it be possible to do another release of the plugin with some of these fixes backported to 2.7.5?

Scala 2.8 won't be out for a few weeks, but there will be a stable eclipse plugin much sooner than that...
Most of the fixes rely on the enhanced compiler support that 2.8 provides anyway, so a backport isn't really possible

No, absolutely no chance of that I'm afraid ... the delta is just too large.

Cheers,
