Description Chas Emerick CLA 2004-12-03 14:53:07 EST 
As a general enhancement suggestion/request, it would be ideal if the selection
expansion functionality was resilient in the presence of errors in a java
buffer.  As it stands now, invoking one of the selection expansion commands when
errors are present fails silently (and is still enabled in the menus even though
it is nonfunctional in such a context).

This is doubly bad for me personally, just because I've always had selection
expansion bound to meta-<CR>; ergo, when I try to expand the selection when
errors are present I end up pushing in a carriage return.
