Bug 99325 [syntax highlighting] semantic highlighting broken when using "convert to new for loop"
Reported: 2005-06-10 06:23:45 | Status: verified fixed

I20050610-0010 (no regression, though - just exposed by the quick fix) - In the code below, execute the "convert to new for loop" quick fix - undo -> note that the 'for' keyword is wrongly colored. -> subsequent reconciles do not correct the failure -> only doing a major change (cutting and pasting entire method, closing editor..) corrects the problem class Test{ void m() { LinkedList<Number> list = null; for (Iterator it = list.iterator(); it.hasNext();) { Number num = (Number) it.next(); System.out.println(num.intValue()); } } } Code inspection revealed that SemanticHighlightingPresenter.contain() relies on positions being disjoint, which is not true in this case: the quick fix modifies the document in a way that produces many positions at the same offset/length. A fix would change indexOf() to check all positions at a certain offset instead of the index returned. Need to talk to Christof about whether the position updater might be doing the wrong thing...
