Description Ed Willink CLA 2011-03-20 19:56:45 EDT 
M6: If you hover (even moentarily before position clicking) over an error, the error is selected so that typing at the position erases the error rext; very irritating. 
Repro:

Open the EclipseCon tutorial ESEExampleTree/model/people1.ecore.

Change #parents to #parnts

Hover over parnts

After about a second the whole of parnts is selected.

M7: This is reproducible using the Xtext grammar editor.

While editing an error-free grammar, delete a character from a rule reference so that there is an error. Hover over the error, a quick fix appears and the whole reference is highlighted making it very diofficult to type the missing character.

The problem is that the quick fix processing selects the range, presumably to support total replacement by a quick fix, but this then inhibits character-based typing.
