Description Brian Miller CLA 2005-07-19 13:05:57 EDT 
Steps:
1) Fold the method.
2) Put the caret on the blank line between the class declaration and the 
folded method.
3) Use the keyboard to type the keyword 'static' (without the apostrophes).  
See that the text entered in this step vanishes!

Moving to JDT/Text.
Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2005-07-20 03:11:17 EDT 
Only happens if you stop typing after 'static'.

Maybe we could try not to change the existing folding if an error gets
introduced by newly typed code.

Also with other modifiers, such as public, etc.
Comment 4 Mik Kersten CLA 2005-09-23 12:37:32 EDT 
Thanks for CC'ing me AJ.  This is issue is more visible when you are using Mylar
which automatically folds everything that is uninteresting (i.e. elements you
haven't edited or selected).

No, no one is working on this.

That's a shame, as this is a real usability pain.  It means you can't start typing a new method before an existing folded one, because the text you type just gets folded into the existing one.

I'd say the rule should be simpler than that: never automatically change the folding if doing so would result on the line the cursor is on being hidden.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
