jVi in JBuilder Known Defects

Bugs ==== Also see jVi's Browse Bugs on SourceForge for further information and details. Lost special characters waiting for dialog After entering ":" (also "/" and "?") and before the dialog appears, special characters, for example <ENTER> or cursor movement, may be lost. Typeahead works because printable ascii characters are not lost. Cursor (problem before JBuilder-4.0) JB's editor pane's start off with the wrong cursor. The cursor is changed after the first key is entered. Code Insight There are some interaction problems with the Code Insight auto popup mechanisms in JB. The autopopup feature was invoked during navigation in command mode, for example using space to move the cursor right would sometimes invoke command insight. To work around this problem, jVi disables "auto popup" while in command mode. Vi makes every attempt to make sure the user's original settings are kept, but if there is a crash, the setting for autopopup may be lost. To check the real settings for auto popup, enter insert mode and then bring up the Command Insight dialog (from IDEOptions). Code Insight can be turned on from either command mode or insert mode and vi will do the right thing. (hoping for JBuilder assistance in its next major release)
