Description Holger Schill CLA 2012-01-17 09:28:00 EST 
When an EmbeddedEditor is created without an initial model org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.embedded.EmbeddedEditor.createPartialEditor() and after that somebody calls org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.embedded.EmbeddedEditorModelAccess.updateModel(String, String, String) the complete input is selected.

Hacky workaround: 
Call createPartialEditor("","x","",false") with a single char.

This is because of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=368827 .

I've move the creation of the org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.embedded.EmbeddedEditorModelAccess in the hover to a codesection that is only called if there is sugar. When 368827 is fixed we can move the codeline back to createContents without initial content.

pushed to master.
