The automatic closing of xml tags (with </>) on control+space creates a strange code mix like this: <operation </operation>active="true"> To reproduce follow these steps: - create XML file - write any open xml tag, f.e. <operation> in a file - add an attribute to the open xml tag f.e. <operation active="true;"> - place the cursor directly after the xml tag (no space in between) - press ctrl+space and autocomplete the xml tag - result: <operation </operation>active="true"> Another steps: - create XML file - write any open xml tag, f.e. <operation> in a file - place the cursor directly after the xml tag (no space in between) - press ctrl+space and autocomplete the xml tag - result: </operation> Note: If a space or any subelement is added after the open xml tag, the feature works correctly.
Which XML editor are you using? There are a few around now, none of them are provided by Eclipse Platform. So this information is needed to move this bug to the correct place. 'Shift-Alt F1' can give you a clue which editor it is.
