"Can't happen"--yeah, right
Submitted by McSwell on Thursday, 19 April, 2007 - 19:48
I've got six or seven buffers loaded, and all work but one. When I try to display that particular file, the buffer is blank. I can go to the top of the file, and move the cursor down line by line; each line will appear until I get to about line 10, when a "BeanShell Error" msg appears. And it literally says "Can't happen". Some comfort...

I've tried closing and re-opening that file, closing and re-starting jEdit, and even rebooting my PC. Nothing works. At this point the file in question does not seem to be damaged on disk, but I certainly can't use jEdit to edit it.

There's a rather lengthy error msg. Unfortunately, it does not appear to be possible to copy it to the Windows clipboard. It starts out (I'm typing this in by hand, so no guarantees that I haven't made a mistake):

java.lang.InternalError: Can't happen
at org.gjtsp.jedit.syntax.TokenMarker.handleRule(TokenMarker.java:412)
at org.gjtsp.jedit.syntax.TokenMarker.markTokens(TokenMarker.java:158)
at org.gjtsp.jedit.Buffer.markTokens(Buffer.java:2115)
and so on for hundreds of lines.

I would attach the Activity Log, but it is nothing short of huge.

Suggestions on how to fix this are welcome...
