Description Ralf Ebert

Eclipse SDK 3.6.0.I20100504-0800

While manipulating extension elements (adding/removing elements and changing attributes) in the PDE Extension Editor, these errors occur frequently, making the editor unusable:

- Whole elements (extension element and sub-elements as well) get duplicated, see attached screenshots elements_duplicated_1.png (I only created one menus/commands/handlers element, the rest appeared upon reopening the document) and elements_duplicated_2.png (every change seems to have caused one duplicate element, the editing history can be seen from bottom to top)
- XML text fragments are inserted in the wrong places, screwing up the whole document (see xml_broken.png, '</plu' in the middle and 'gin>' at the end)
- MalformedTreeException exception, see attachment MalformedTreeException.txt.

How are you reproducing this?

Can you give us a simple set of steps... we don't really touch the editing bits of PDE much so it could be something that bubbled up from JFace Text...

Problem number 1 (duplicated elements) seems to be triggered by having the WTP XML tooling installed. I could swear I have seen a bug related to that, but I cannot find it.

I can reproduce this using the following steps:

- Create a new plug-in, contributing to the UI, no template.
- Go to extensions (should be empty)
- Add "org.eclipse.ui.commands", Save.
- Add a command element and Save.
- Add another command element and Save, should look like ext1.png now.
- Reopen the document, looks like ext2.png.


- Reproduced on my Eclipse SDK 3.6.0.I20100504-0800 installation.
- Updated to Eclipse SDK 3.6.0.I20100509-0800, still reproducable.
- Tried the same on a fresh Eclipse SDK M7 installation, works as expected.
- Updated to 3.6.0.I20100509-0800, works as expected.
- Installed XML tooling from latest WTP I-Build (http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R3.2.0/I-3.2.0-20100422162836/repository/):

Eclipse Web Developer Tools	3.2.0.v201004210707-7O7BFb3EMf6XlkhHH1z00lDAbWVW
Eclipse XML Editors and Tools	3.2.0.v201004210707-7H7AFRADxumKhLR7fb2JMe9ejpDV

Problem reproducable again.

Will try to reproduce the other problems tomorrow.

I'm guessing this is a dupe of bug 307524.

That one should probably be bumped to critical.
