[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6352?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Kabir Khan commented on AS7-6352: --------------------------------- This happens on OS X Lion - java version "1.6.0_37" I've actually noticed it was weird for a while, it is only recently that I realised that the visual cursor position was wrong, while the cursor position under the hood is where expected. Without that realisation it becomes very weird to try to edit :-) I see this also happens on a fresh line, I'll summarize here - [] means visul cursor position. Hopefully that might shed some light even if you can't reproduce. Initially I enter: /zob[] I move my cursor to 'b' /zo[b] Now I hit backspace /zb[] Now I hit backspace again /b[] Now I hit backspace again b[] Hitting backspace again has no effect since the cursor is actually at the beginning, to delete the 'b' I need to go to the right, so: b [] Now backspace deletes the 'b' and I end up with [] Another example: /zob[] I move my cursor to 'b' since I meant to start writing 'subsystem' and not 'zobsystem' /zo[b] Now I hit backspace /zb[] Now I hit backspace again /b[] Now I enter 's' /sb[] Now I enter 'u' /sub[] Now I want to append 'system', so I enter 's' /susb[] I realize the cursor was in a different place than what it looked like, so I hit backspace /sub[] I now try to move the cursor one step to the right /sub [] I enter 's' /sub s[] So now it makes even less sense :-) This only seems to affect deletions when I go back, if I delete from the end everything is fine, e.g.: /zub[] delete /zu[] delete /z[] delete /[] Press 's' /s[] Press 'u' /su[] etc. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
