Before the 5.0GA I could go back to the “classic” JSP editor, but now that seems to be gone. After editing a jsp for a while the editor start acting very confused, like internally corrupted data structures. Changes appear not at the cursor location, copy / paste fails in weird ways like copying only part or non of what was highlighted, typed text dissappears, screen refreshes change the content when you scroll, content when you save is different than what was on-screen, etc. This is with Eclipse 3.2. On the verge of uninstalling myEclipse since this makes jsp editing very inconvenient.

Can you copy paste the result from MyEclipse > About MyEclipse > Inistallation Summary for me, also, are you just using the source editor, or are you also using the Visual designer?

Lastly, have you tried closing and opening your JSP files with “MyEclipse JSP Editor” which is the ‘Classic’ editor, we just renamed it and remove the Design tab.

Hi support-rkalla,
I don’t see the exact menu item you describe, but here is the content of MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details…

As for closing and reopening a file, yes I have tried that and restarting Eclipse etc. many times over the last several weeks that I have been having this problem. The file seems fine and everything works as expected for a while (minutes to hours) each time.

I have never used the Visual designer, nor any of the other tabs in the editor other than the source view.

This could be issue #1, we don’t test with the new JDK 6.0, but a little bit of testing I did do on my own with Beta 2 caused a few issues to show up in the platform, so I would encourage you to install and use JDK 1.5.0_08 to run Eclipse wth for the time being (until 6.0 is officially supported by the Eclipse release group).

Also adjust your startup arguments to look like this:

With both of those changes, see if the issue gets better.

Alright, I’ll try 1.5.0_08 for a while. My vmargs are already pretty similar to those.
