Problem with multiple delimiters being inserted - SyntaxEditor for WPF Forum

Posted 10 years ago by Michael Collins

Version: 14.1.0601

We're using the WPF Syntax Editor control version 2014.1.601 in production in our product. We're using C# with the .NET language add-on.

A number of our users have reported extra delimiters being inserted while typing. I've seen this myself, but it's been hard for me to reproduce reliably.

For example, if I type in "System.TimeSpan.FromSeconds(", SyntaxEditor may insert multiple parentheses so that my text looks like this: System.TimeSpan.FromSeconds((()). This seems to happen both with parentheses and curly braces around blocks (if {{{ ... }}).

This is quite annoying when it happens. I saw it happen frequently in the 2013.2 release, but 2014.1 seemed much better.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to troubleshoot or fix the issue?

Thank you.

Hi Michael,

Hmmm, I'm not sure what would cause that since it should only insert an end delimiter when it sees that a start delimiter was typed. Can you first try with the latest build 602 and see if you can repro it in that? There have been a lot of changes in various areas for 602 so perhaps it would make a difference. If you do see it, see if a single Ctrl+Z undo removes all of the inserted delimiters. Also, see if you are able to narrow down the scenario to more easily reproduce it, since we'd probably need to have a repro scenario to debug with and fix it.
