Description Dan O'Connor CLA 2012-02-29 16:28:40 EST 
Build Identifier: 1.0.300.v200805140200

When part of an end tag is selected in an xml editor, the entire end tag is deleted when the forward slash key is pressed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
In an Eclipse project create a new XML file.
Open the file in the webtools XML editor

Enter the following XML into the source:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<doc>
<div>
<li></li>
</div>
</doc>

In line 4 select 
></li

press forward slash as if to replace the selected text with a forward slash

At this point I would expect my document to look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<doc>
<div>
<li/>
</div>
</doc>

Instead it looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<doc>
<div>
<li/div>
</doc>
