[Pydev-code] Problems with syntax colorizing

[Don T. <nos...@gm...>]

Fabio:

I am having a strange problem with syntax coloring in a Jython file.

My Pydev extension under development allows you to rewrap comments in 
Python/Jython files.  It is mostly working except for one strange case:

I ask it to wrap the first paragraph in the following docstring:

class TextWrapper:
     """
     Object for wrapping/filling text.  The public interface consists of
     the wrap() and fill() methods; the other methods are just there for
     subclasses to override in order to tweak the default behaviour.
     If you want to completely replace the main wrapping algorithm,
     you'll probably have to override _wrap_chunks().

     Several instance attributes control various aspects of wrapping:
       width (default: 70)
         the maximum width of wrapped lines (unless break_long_words
         is false)
   <stuff deleted>
         Break words longer than 'width'.  If false, those words will not
         be broken, and some lines might be longer than 'width'.
     """

     whitespace_trans = string.maketrans(_whitespace, ' ' * 
len(_whitespace))

     unicode_whitespace_trans = {}
     uspace = ord(u' ')

and the text is wrapped fine except that the code that follows is now 
colored as if it were a string too.  However, if I save the file as it 
now is and re-open it then it comes back colored the way it should be 
(and it runs OK).

Also, if I hit ctrl-Z after a paragraph wrap then the text is restored 
to its original state, Eclipse thinks that the file is the same as its 
original state (no * on the tab) but the code is still colored as if it 
were part of the docstring.

This text is part of a largish (>500 line) file and I have not been able 
to reproduce this problem in a small file.  I have put a copy of the 
file on:
