WeBuilder 2010 - css auto complete bug?

[biotech]

HI there,
The more I work with css the more annoying it gets. Using the latest WeBuilder 2010 10.1.0.119
Here is how I have it setup:
Preferences > Language Options > CSS >
[x] Auto complete CSS rule braces
[x] Multi lines, Opening braces
------ [x] on the same line as selector

Problem: Editor adds 2 extra lines at the bottom of closing bracket.

Code: Select all

1. #my_id {
2.    cursor
3.}
4.
5.
6. #my_other_id {
7.    cursor
8.}
9.
10.

ideally I would like it to NOT add the extra lines.
eg.

Code: Select all

1. #my_id {
2.    cursor
3.}
4. #my_other_id {
5.    cursor
6.}

Thank you!

Yes, this happens to me too (and I suspect everyone else with auto-complete CSS rule braces enabled). It is easy to replicate on my machine, simply create or open a CSS file, add any rule and when adding the first curly brace, a second is added with two line breaks underneath it. Certainly not a show-stopper but annoying when trying to keep a CSS file neatly formatted. This is something that if the devs have time I would like to see fixed, though I understand many other more important tasks are on the list before this one.

That's indeed really annoying, when working on CSS... A fix would be really nice

@notuo
Preferences - Text Editor - Auto Indent/tabs is where you control the starting point/cursors...but that doesn't solve the original issue here

@biotech

Yes, that option controls the cursor starting point, but why you have 2 different set of rules for CSS files: This one and the CSS Format Code one.

What I am stating here is CSS has to obey the rules from the format code part. I understand this is a external procedure, but the rules can apply at the same time.

Also This 2 issues (yours and mine) shows that CSS rules are quite different from other languages like html, php, asp.

@notuo
Ah got it. I am burred in css...it has been ages since I did asp and some php here and there...
Either way, hopefully devs get this tweaked out in next release.
Thanks!

Indeed two lines is too much. Something is not right. There should be only one empty line by design.

We don't need even a 1.
None is better

It's all down to personal choice, I'd like 1 line between each one.

[biotech]

well...make it an option then, as long as there is one.

It's all down to personal choice, I'd like 1 line between each one.

But in all other languages no extra line(s) appear. It should do what it's set to do - autoclose and autoindent of curly brackets. So where is the additional line mentioned? Imho I don't need settings, if they cause actions that are not mentioned.

And for sure, I also like 1 line space between my functions or css class definitions. But when I type an IF declaration, I don't want to have an extra line after the closing bracket by default. So to keep things simple and as they should be, just do the css autocomplete like it is done in all other languages too and everybody is fine!

Yeah, I kinda agree with that last suggestion... as much as I like 1 line separator between CSS declarations, having no spacing would be ideal - then you can add all kinds of spacing as per personal preferences... or not. And everyone would be happy.

I figured only a fair thing to do is follow up.
New version fixes this chang log here.
Thank you guys!
