Display Garbled When Using Sidekick
Submitted by proee on Thursday, 9 April, 2009 - 18:24
I've experience "display garble" for a number of years when using the sidekick plugin, it's finally to the point where I can't stand it any more - I hope there is a fix!

The problem occurs when sidekick is active and I click to save the buffer after editing some text. The document saves, but the screen then shows the characters around the cursor out of order. It appears the parser is confused somehow.

My current solution is to simply drag the divider between buffer to force the screen to redraw. This refreshes the buffer and the text is back to normal.

Has anyone else experience this issue? Any workaround?

This should be fixed in the trunk (see this bug tracker item. So when jEdit 4.3pre17 would be released, the problem should not occur anymore.

If You don't want to wait, You could try a compiled trunk version of jedit: http://jedit.wiki.sourceforge.net/space/showimage/jedit.jar_4.3pre17_14914.
