Description Andrew Freeman CLA 2003-03-02 12:06:22 EST 
When I use the the format command the cursor jumps forward 8 characters.

1            commandMap.add(
2                "firstActionToPerform",
3                "com.company.app.command.SomeCommand");
4            commandMap.add(
5                "secondActionToPerform",
6                "com.company.app.command.SomeCommand");

If I have the cursor before the 'c' on line 1 and then I use the format 
command, the cursor jumps between the 'M' and the 'a' on line 1.  I do it 
again and it jumps to col 1 of line 2.  Next time it jumps to bewteen the 'T' 
and the 'o' on line 2, then after the 'm' on line 2, then after the first '.' 
on line 3, then after the secon '.' on line 3, etc.  If I continue on, the 
cursor ends up cycling on line 3 to various points.

The example I gave earlier shows when the cursor moves forward when using the 
format command.  I have also had situations where the cursor moves backard but 
not as often.

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.
