[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Biggest Eclipse bug ever about Java?

[hamasaki@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Mr. Hama)]

Dear Eclipse SWT developers/users!


Let me understand: you delete some part of file in Eclipse, press save
- the file contents remain the same? (i.e. you close Eclipse, and then
open it again - you see the original file)

Not fully original. The point where I deleted content, see ending char + 
?> (end of php file string) and this overwrite the next line chars.
If the next line was "hello world!" next line will be

"?>llo world"

or

"?>
o world"

but file size will 100% same.


YES, or sometimes I see the ORIGINAL file and where I deleted a file I 
show ?> chars and all content same with original file BUT all times the 
file size don't changed!

I think this is the biggest bug in ECLIPSE what make it useless :-(

For example detailed description, original file:

<?
php code 1

php code 2

php code 3
?>

I delete php code 2 + php code 3 line, left only 1 line, this will be:

<?
php code 1
?>

BUT!!!!!!!!!! I show this with text editor or if reopen file:

<?
php code 1
?>
p code 2

php code 3
?>

And I show CORRECTLY the file if I press "SAVE" after first modification 
(but really file size don't changed, only date updated). If I close file + 
open again I see the bugged source -OR- I see the only 1 line source 
correctly BUT the file bugged because Eclipse stop display after first ?> .
If I use ANY OTHER non JAVA based editor = ALL WORKS FINE and no this bug.

---------

BUT file size will 100% same, file date changed!
So... Eclipse and ALL JAVA IDE don't MODIFY TO FILE SIZE SMALLER.

If I add new lines = ALL OK, but if delete = this sh1t happends...

I don't belive with this bug somebody can use and JAVA IDE... Eclipse 
useless with this bug...


Thanks!
