Description Marc-André Laperle

I'm using CDT 8.0.0.201108031635

1. Create a template containing ${word_selection}
2. Use the template on a word on a line that starts with some white space
3. Extra white space is inserted

Note: It doesn't seem to matter if the "Use code formatter" option is checked or not.

Example:

template : ${word_selection}

int main() {
    return 0;
}

When template is used on 'return':
int main() {
    	return 0;
}

Thanks for looking at this. I don't think trim will give the best results. Here's an example:

template:
cout << "${word_selection}"

code:

    foo    ;
^      ^
note the 4 spaces before and 4 spaces after foo.

Select foo and the 4 subsequent spaces (up to ; but ; not selected). Invoke the template: white space is inserted before the cout and white space is lost after 'foo'. Also, if I test the original example, it still inserts spaces. Make sure you select only 'return' without the white spaces before it.
