[ jEdit-users ] Bad issue while editing folded code

[Marcin O. <ca...@wf...>]

Hi,

I just faced (badly) the following issue - jEdit allows to
edit multiple lines at once by selecting area vertically
with CTRL key holded. Neat. But there's seems to be an
inconsequence which may wreck your code (or least waste you
some time if you use CVS or do frequent backups). If heavily
use folding in my code and yesterday wanted to edit folds
"titles". Since I usually write open fold markers like this:

//{{{ Foo               .

with the dot placed intentionally to separate and align
"[xx lines]" info from "Foo". Even the code is folded you
can always edit it's "title". So I folded all the code,
pressed CTRL down, marked all the "titles" and did some
editing. to align it all nicely. The next day I realised
the source does not "work" anymore. And I dare to blame
jedit - it appeared that editing single fold title does
not affect block content (obvious), but editing in the
multiline mode does which is inconsequent and far from
being obvious and expected.

I realise that fixing that may be hard, but from other
hand - shouldn't folded code be non-modifable, even
its title (like in old good GoldEdit if anyone been using)?
It's folded. You don't see what's inside. It's locked.
Want to edit? Unfold it first.

Regards,
