3.5RC1 1. Create a simple java source class 2. In the java editor, type "xx" somewhere to produce an error marker. 3. Keep your insert cursor at that position (right of the "xx"). Note that there is nothing in the status line at the bottom left of the window. 4. Backspace over the "xx". When you've backspaced over the last/leftmost "x", thus removing the error, the status line will briefly flash the error which was there. It's hard to say whose bug this is, starting with Text as it seems typing related (other ways of making the error go away such as code completion do not produce this behaviour).
Fixing bug 277026 will fix this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 277026 ***
(In reply to comment #1) > Fixing bug 277026 will fix this. True, although we may never do bug #277026 since it's an enhancement but then we may still want to fix this one. Should this not be left open but reference the two bugs to each other? I mean it's a minor thing so no big deal either way, just a bit distracting. Additional thoughts on this bug: If feels like a timing issue plus an edge case, as it only happens on the very last character being backspaced over, and if you have " xx" and backspace quickly 3x, the status message never appears.
The problem is that we can't update while typing (too slow) but on post selection changed. That's why we see this. If at all we invest time then into the other bug not this one.
ok thanks
