Description Johan Compagner

I have smart caret positioning enabled in the preferences of the java editor
(without it it is even worse)

i have this line:

     String[] tmp = (String[])al.toArray(tmp2);

if i start completely at front i get these places (|) when i use CTRL-
ARROW_RIGHT

|    String|Buffer[] |tmp |= |(String|Buffer[])|al.|toArray|(tmp2|);

i excpect something like this:

|    |String|Buffer|[] |tmp| |= (|String|Buffer|[])|al|.|to|Array|(|tmp2|);

it seems to me that somehow it always ignores one.
because if the starting position is different for example at front of the 
string buffer itself:

    |StringBuffer|[] tmp |= (|StringBuffer|[])|al.to|Array(|tmp2);


Is this a setting somehow? Or is one events seen as 2 things and it jumps 
directly 2 places?

Java editor is JDT/Text. Moving.

Might be a dup of bug 71016 if build id < 20040804.
Johan, please provide your build id.

yes you are right
It is fixed now, just upgraded to 20040810 and it works as it should now again.
