Closing parenthesis ")" not added

[Andreas]

Hi Alex,

copy the following line of code into a C++ source file in HippoEdit:

    int a = 1 + ((2 +3);

Now place the cursor onto the closing parenthesis ")".

Then press ")" on the keyboard.

As a result, the closing parenthesis ")" will NOT be added to the code.

Best regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

you need to put you closing parenthesis not before but after another closing parenthesis
Yes. I have reproduced - probably cause by optimization of auto closing brace feature. Will correct in next build.

BTW: I have published 1.51.38 just now. Most of the problems reported by you shall be fixed. Please check.

BR, Alex.

Hi Alex,

there is still a problem here. To reproduce it, make sure that the Auto-Brackets option is disabled. Then copy the following line of code into a C++ source file in HippoEdit:

    int a = b * (c + d * func);

Now place the cursor onto the closing parenthesis ")" and then quickly type "(" and ")".

As a result, the closing parenthesis ")" you have just entered will NOT be added to the code.

The problem will not occur when you slowly type "(" and ")".

Best regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

confirmed. Will fix it in next update for 1.60. If Auto-Brackets feature is disabled, editor at all shal not take care about manipulation of the parenthesis and shall leave everything as typed.
But also if Auto-Brackets is ON, in your example editor behaves incorrectly: it leave additional closing parenthesis if you type open + close fast. One auto added + one yours. That shall be also fixed.

BR, Alex.
