#148 Problems with the Better Templates feature

[Chris Skeels]

I will illustrate the problem with a simple example. Start with the better Better Templates feature turned off and in a TeX window do the following:

1. Create an inline equation displaying the cube of x, say, using first the keystroke combination ctrl-cmd-m (which should produce ( | ) • where the | denotes the cursor, then typing x, shift-6, 3, tab, tab should leave you with ( x^{3} )|.
2. Turn on the Better Templates feature and then repeat 1. I get ( x^{3|}• )• Subsequent uses of the tab key moves the cursor to a variety of curious places, but never to the next bullet stop.

The problem appears to be related to nested templates. For example, if, after ctrl-cmd-m I just hit tab, then the cursor moves to the bullet stop outside the environment, as it should.

Hi Chris, thank you for reporting. I can reproduce the problem. I'll look into this.

This is fixed now. The core did something wrong when recalculating the mark positions in the case of a negative change length.

Changes committed to the repository (rev. 1420 (sourceforge.net)). The core must be rebuilt.

Better but not quite fixed. Try type-setting the following: ( \frac{1}{2} ). For me the key-stroke sequence is ctrl-cmd-m, \frac{, 1, tab, 2 tab, tab to reach the end. It is taking an additional tab on leaving the fraction to exit the math environment than it should

This remaining issue has been fixed now.

Changes committed to the repository (rev. 1426 (sourceforge.net)). The core must be rebuilt.

This appears to be fixed now and can be closed.
