Bug?: refactoring cursor variables

[PeterW]

Use the following code:

create or replace procedure test
is
   cursor c1 (b_var1 in number)
   is
      select 1
      from   dual
      where  dual.dummy = b_var1;

   cursor c2 (b_var1 in varchar2)
   is
      select 1
      from   dual
      where  dual.dummy = b_var1;

   l_varn  number;
   l_varc  varchar2(1);

BEGIN
   open  c1 (b_var1 => 1);
   fetch c1
   into  l_varn;
   close c1;

   open  c2 (b_var1 => 1);
   fetch c2
   into  l_varc;
   close c2;

END test;

When you select the cursor variable b_var1 (line 3), you'll see that the occurences of b_var1 in both cursor c1 and c2 are highlighted. When you refactor b_var1 (of cursor c1), ALL occurences in the declaration part (lines 3-16) are refactored, including those of cursor c2. The occurences between BEGIN..END are NOT highlighted nor refactored.

Is this desired behaviour?

Version: 8.0.4.1514

No, this is not the desired behavior. We'll fix it.

This bug is still present in version 10 (beta 9).

This issue has also been addressed in the post Syntax highlight bug: too many instances of parameter/variable are highlighted when having same name.

In this post, the forum administrator, Marco, states that this bug will not be corrected in version 10.0. Hopefully in a later patch version?
