testautoComplete loose focus
Submitted by timou on Monday, 25 March, 2013 - 08:41
Hi...

I have a problem with the text autocomplete plug-ins...

when I write a word, let's say "print", after 2 worlds, the popup appears then if I continue to type, the focus is loose.
at the end of the word, I hit space, then a I cannot ype anything. I have to refocius on the current tezxt view with the mouse.

UI tried on jEdit 4.5 and 5... that's the same.

Any idea?

Thanks
Left Paren "(" not visible on Macbook after 10.8.2 update
Submitted by FatDog on Thursday, 14 March, 2013 - 16:07
My work supplied Macbook was having some issues so they upgraded the OS to 10.8.2. Not the latest but a good working version of the previous version.

I was stuck in a WarRoom and had to use Jedit on the Mac and discovered something funny. The left parenthensies are all invisible:

my %gPUB_HASH = (); - This is what it looks like in TextWrangler
my %gPUB_HASH = ); - This is what it looks like in Jedit


The open paren character "(" is invisible all throughout the .pl script. I have changed the color scheme, the background and even tried reloading with several different encoding schemes but no luck.

If I cut and paste the text into a email or TextWrangler the character shows up. It is just invisible

As I type the closing ")" character the cursor does flash to where the "(" should be so Jedit knows it is there.

Help! This is really annoying and does not happen on my various Window installs.
cannot install XML plugin on Mac OS X 10.7.5 jEdit 5.1 pre java 1.6.0_37
Submitted by mandersen on Wednesday, 9 January, 2013 - 18:52
I cannot get jEdit to install the XML plugin. I have been able to install other plugins as recently as yesterday. The download manager shows the XML plugin, I check its box and click "install". A window opens with a progress bar, which progresses to 100%, and then I get an error message: "Error while downloading the plugin, please try another mirror". I've tried about a dozen mirror with no success. I've tried using wide-open permissions on the jEdit home and settings directories - no difference. I've tried installing the plugin in the settings and application directory. I've even tried to install it manually. So far, no luck. I'd really like to get the XML plugin working, can anyone offer me any pointers? Is there a log file I can check?

Thanks and best regards,

Mike
Root node in file browser
Submitted by jmmalmedy on Monday, 10 December, 2012 - 17:31
Hello,

I'm using jEdit 5.0.0 on Windows XP SP3.

In the file browser (or file opening window), when I select the root node, "loading" is displayed but the file list is never refreshed.

The activity logs contains the following error report:

Version 5.0
Submitted by CJreige on Tuesday, 4 December, 2012 - 18:19
Hi everybody.

I just upgraded to version 5.0. It deleted all my 'XInsert' files. XInsert is a code completion plug-in. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to get the files back???
Jedit opens multiple times

Hi all,
when I open a html document with jedit, the programme opens 20-30 times. I tried to change some preferences so that it won't remember previously used documents, but it freezes.
What to do?

SshConsole error: "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid connection port"
Submitted by jdjensen on Sunday, 23 September, 2012 - 05:15
I very much enjoyed using the SFTP file browser plugin along with the sshConsole plugin in an older version of jEdit on Windows XP. When I installed the newest version and tried to use these two plugins, the remote file browser worked but the sshconsole did not. When I clicked on a file in a remote folder (the sshconsole is supposed to move to the directory the file is in) it gave me an error like the following:

[no sftp:// connections?] >Last login: Sat Sep 22 16:24:03 2012 from 75.85.183.132
Error while running process: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid connection port: ' Sat Sep 22 16'

I since got a new computer running Windows 7, and encounter the same problem (that's where the above error output comes from, to be precise). I tried it on Linux (Ubuntu), however, and the sshconsole worked fine. But I do enough work on Windows that I am anxious to fix it.

I couldn't find any option within jEdit to change connection ports, and if I did, I wouldn't know what to do with it. And I've searched online and haven't found any references to the problem in forums. Has anyone else encountered it? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for your time.
Problem with jEdit 4.5.2 on OpenJDK 1.7.0_07 - uneditable text area
Submitted by Phitherek_ on Thursday, 13 September, 2012 - 10:44
Hello,

I' ve got a following problem with jEdit 4.5.2 after last OpenJDK update to version 1.7.0_07. I use Arch Linux with LXDE as a desktop environment and Compiz Fusion as a window manager. Before the update everything worked as expected. However, after the update if the jEdit window loses focus, its text area becomes uneditable and the program is not responding to keyboard hotkeys. However, the buttons and menus still work perfectly. I can temporalily solve the problem by minimizing jEdit to taskbar and then restoring it, but it happens again with the next loss of focus, which is really frequent with autocompletion plugins. It is really annoying and makes my work harder. Please help me if someone knows the solution.

d'oh! Need help recovering macros and settings after re-installing 4.5.2
Submitted by tnlibrarian on Monday, 27 August, 2012 - 04:11
Help!

I have lost macros and settings following a rash and ill-considered update from 4.5.3 to 5.0 pre and a subsequent re-installation of 4.5.2 (which is when the macro and other C:\User\[...]\.jedit files were overwritten with a clean install) (nb: this is a Windows 7 installation).

Anybody got a favorite free (or cheap) recovery solution? (Windows recovery/shadow solutions ain't an option... nor is going back in time and being not-stupid about making an adequate backup.) eSupport Undelete Plus finds the files in the "C:\Deleted 1200\" directory, but insists on payment to recover the .bsh files (which I am willing to do, but not if I can get them back for free...)

Thanks for the help in my panicking times!
jEdit changes the string 'and ' to a character that looks like an open square.

The java.io.CharConversionException sites character '^'(U+2227) with encoding "Cp1252" on a save. I am guessing that i caused the error by hitting some key combination shortly before. It occurred first in a .py file, but also occurs in a .txt file. How do i get rid of this behavior?
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread
Submitted by imgod2u on Friday, 3 August, 2012 - 20:42
Something has happened with our company linux cluster recently. I think they've limited the number of user threads or at the very least, have significantly reduced it. In either case, resizing the jedit window will consistently cause:

1:32:20 PM [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] AWT-EventQueue-0: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0"

Unfortunately, I do not have admin access nor do I think IT will change their policy just so I can use jedit. So my question would be, is there a way to find out what the maximum thread/nproc limit is for my user account and is there a way to limit how many threads jedit spawns?
jedit has 100 or so windows open
Submitted by jeditcdnguy on Sunday, 8 July, 2012 - 00:40
Hi - I'm running jedit 4.5.2 under Ubuntu 12.04 with the latest Java.

Some time back I opened a ton of files then closed them all and now the windows won't go away. If I open jedit to edit one file, the one file is there in the first window, the file shows up alone in the drop down menu but when alt tab goes to jedit, the 100 or so windows are there.

I have tried global closing, everything. Can anyone make a suggestion, please?
Open in Desktop
Submitted by Arionyx on Friday, 22 June, 2012 - 15:11
I was wondering if I could find out where I need to go to configure the 'Open in Desktop' command in the FSB pane. I'm currently working with a scripting language, and for some reason, include commands won't work correctly when I run the file within jEdit, yet they work fine when I run the file from Explorer.
Help! Can't get Python syntax highlighting to work
Submitted by kcstrom on Friday, 25 May, 2012 - 12:34
At work, others like to strip off the .py on some python files which wouldn't be a big deal, except they also have '#! python' instead of the more normal pattern of something like '#! /usr/bin/env python'. So I changed the /path/to/my/jedit/settings/catalog file to have a copy/paste of the python file mode from the /path/to/jedit/install/settings/modes/catalog file except I removed '*/' from the FIRST_LINE_GLOB so it would match both the normal and the less normal that is used at my work.

That was great - it now recognizes both file types as python. Unfortunately, I no longer have syntax highlighting for the Python edit mode. I've undone my changes, and updated from Python 4.5.0 to 4.5.1 just to make sure I hadn't modified the original catalog or did something else weird (I'm pretty sure I didn't anyway), but syntax highlighting for Python is still broken.

Please help!

Strange Behavior with Shift-C
Submitted by Cheruvim on Tuesday, 15 May, 2012 - 15:00
Not sure how this happened or how to reproduce it, however, in Jedit and only in Jedit, when I push shift-C It doesn't type a 'C' (which I just typed here on the same machine, a macbook pro OS 10.6). The strange thing is if I type shit-C in succession or if I type shift-C and then another key, I get a system beep.

What the heck is going on? Where on earth did Jedit get that mapped?
Issue running jEdit on Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Using OpenJDK7 bsd-port compiled against platform)
Submitted by jlove on Sunday, 22 April, 2012 - 09:11
Hi,

I love jEdit and use it all the time on my standard Linux desktop however I've recently purchased a PowerMac G4 and have managed to compile OpenJDK7 against the platform. Great... now I can upgrade to the latest version of jEdit!! I downloaded the source and compiled against my platform but due to complications I have to explicitly set Djava.awt.false=false as an option when running jEdit.

Everything loads correctly and I can browse through the menu items, install plugins etc however the one thing which doesn't work is keyboard input into buffers. When I try to type into a buffer no text appears and instead the output is directed to the console.

Could somebody please help me understand what is happening and perhaps suggest any way of avoiding this issue? I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty in the code if it comes to that but I'd appreciate a starting point!

Kind Regards,

JLove
jEdit hangs on Win7 32bit
Submitted by Dominicus on Tuesday, 17 April, 2012 - 05:37
I updated jEdit from 4.4.2 to 4.5.1 on Win 7 32-bit PC, and now my environment is toast.
Upon opening, gave me an I/O error related to "Sidekick". I uninstalled 4.5, and installed 4.4.2 back.
No luck.
I can open a file with code and move the cursor around, but as soon as I update anything (i.e. add or delete a single character), jEdit hangs.
I have to kill the process from Task Manager.
Tried uninstalling either of the two version and now both installations behave exactly same...hung after first interaction.
After uninstalling a version, I reboot to install another, and the install wizard tells me it needs to close an existing version of jEdit that's running...how can this be, after I've uninstalled and rebooted?
I suspect there's a component or accessory to jEdit that both corrupted and persists even after uninstall.
any clue how I can fix my environment to successfully reinstall and start from scratch?
No graphic display (window) when starting jedit - java process hangs
Submitted by rdehmel on Thursday, 15 March, 2012 - 15:57
Hi,
I have just installed jre 1.6 on my very very old Linux box. Suse LinuxEnterprise 1.0 (SLES Cool

de/jedit> java -version
java version "1.6.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b04)

When I try to install jedet the graphic window does not popup. One of the java processes uses 100% CPU time.

Trying text mode -> Installation of jedet is OK!

Trying to start jedit same as above: No window and one of the java processes uses 100% CPU time.

All other graphic stuff is fine on the linux box.

Any idea?

PS: I love jedit, because I use it already on windows.
