Description Boris Pruessmann CLA 2002-07-11 06:19:44 EDT 
When pressing the DEL key in an open java editor, no validateEdit is issued. 
Using other keys like SPACE has the expected result. 

Using DEL in the normal text editor issues the validateEdit though.

For what it's worth,this happens with most (if not all) "commands".  Pressing
CTRL-/,CTRL-V, etc. The corresponding menu items are disabled because the file
is read-only.  This should "just work".

I tried to set the Severity of the bug to major but could not (only the 
Submitter\owner can).  I would like to raise the severity of this defect 
because it causing confusing behaviour in WSAD (While editing Files that have 
not been checked-out yet) and renders some settings in WSAD ineffective.  For 
example:

There is a setting under:
 Windows-->Preferences-->Team-->Rational Clearcase 
 "When checked in files are edited by an internal editor:" 

Changing the setting to "prompt to checkout" should cause a checkout prompt 
whenever a change is made to local file.  This does not happen when the user 
presses delete or ctrl-v.

We (WSAD) would like to determine the possibility of getting a fix into the 
2.0.2 stream

I'll extend this a bit more.  The entire handling of "read-only" for files under
source control is "flawed".  This affects "Replace" ability in the Find dialog,
etc.  The system should effectively treat all files as writable if they are
under source control, (depending on the Team provider).  This may introduce
another API that a Team Provider has to implement...

Pressing Ctrl+F or Pressing Ctrl+O on a file that has been checked in under 
SourceControl (ClearCase plugin) will try to checkout this file. Apparantly 
Pressing these key-combination invokes a validateEdit-call which is not needed 
in this case. I do NOT want to edit the java source file, i just want to do a 
Find(ctrl+f) or a browse(Ctrl+o).


Is there somewhere a list to see which keystrokes invoke the validateEdit?

This appears to have been fixed in a recent release (I think I noticed it in
RC2).   Can anyone else comment/confirm?
