Bug: when using keyword case uppercase, the editor can be too slow to keep up with the user's speed

[Claus Pedersen]

We have set the editor preferences to use uppercase for syntax case. When a user for instance types

end if;

normally this is changed automatically into uppercase:

END IF;

But a fast typing user often ends up with the following result:

end IF;

It seems that the keystrokes can be too fast for PLD to be able to recognise the first 'end' and misses to make it uppercase.

Please correct this bug, at it is quite annoying for the user that he has to double check the syntax case while typing and has to go back the the words with wrong syntax case and correct them manually (typically by adding a space right after the word and delete it again to force the keyword to be uppercase).

That is odd. We'll check it out.

 

[Claus Pedersen]

Can this be fixed soon? It is becomming quite a nuisance for some of our programmers.

We have not been able to reproduce this. Are you using any Plug-Ins?

 

[Claus Pedersen]

No, I do not have any plugins.

Some other users have the same problem, and some of them have plugins installed, but not always the same.

In order to reproduce this, you need a very fast typist. You have to be able to type e.g. "end if" very fast.

I will try to find such a person .

up.
Sometimes it become: enD IF;
or : end iF;
or : ENd iF;

Hi,
We are encountering the same problem after upgrading from 6 to 8.0.4.
Database version is the same (11.1).
Thanks

I get this problem also. It seems to happen more if I'm typing in the middle of a package. I can't type fast enough for it to happen in small or empty program windows, so perhaps the bigger the package, the more likely it will happen?

I also wanted to remind everyone that you can select all and then "F4" or "Edit -> Selection -> Apply Syntax Case" at the end of writing and fix them all at once. It is a nuisance, but this way it is less of one.
