Error parsing CASE inside an IF

[SJM]

The program window is not parsing correctly when an IF statement includes a CASE statement. The code intermittently fails with "Unable to complete operation due to errors in source code", and the Code Contents pane does not display anything. In the sample code below, everything works fine if the CASE statement lines are commented out. After compiling, uncomment them and recompile to generate the error.

Version 7.1.5.1398
Windows XP Professional 5.1 Build 2600 (Service Pack 3)

create or replace procedure test_code_pane is
begin
  if true
     and 'a' = case 'b'
                 when 'a' then 'a'
                 when 'b' then 'b'
               end
  then
    dbms_output.put_line('true');
  else
    dbms_output.put_line('false');
  end if;
end test_code_pane;

This has been fixed for the upcoming 8.0 release.
