Library snippets do not retain spaces anymore?

[FrankC]

WB 2012 does not seem to retain spaces anymore in the Library snippets, relative to WB 2011. For example, one snippet should produce

Code: Select all

/* | */

but every time I close WB and restart it, it changes it back to

Code: Select all

/*|*/

When I add the spaces in the snippet they remain during that session, but they are gone again in a new WB session. Has something changed with respect to the manual? If not, could this be restored in an update? In WB 2011, things worked fine.

I can't reproduce it. Can you create a screenshot of the snippet before & after?

[FrankC]

Sure. Of the Snippet Editor window or of the result of calling the snippet into action?

[Aivars]

The editor window, please.

OK, this is right after I added the spaces: http://prntscr.com/173jx4, and this is after I clicked OK, closed and restarted WB, and opened the editor window again: http://prntscr.com/173kgs.

I see - the problem is not with the spaces inside the text but the spaces before/after text get trimmed. I think this is a known problem and it might have been present in previous versions, too, but I'll check and add if needed.

OK. FYI: I use that snippet a lot, just about every day I'm coding, because it is the comment tag in both CSS and Javascript. And I've never had any problems with it in WB 2011.

Another thing, which seems related, is that WB 2014 changes the — in the — snippet back to —. Not upon closing and restarting WB, and I haven't been able to replicate when exactly, but just about every time I need it again, the — has changed back to —.

Could it be that you run WB2011 now and then? That could ruin unicode characters in library snippets.

[FrankC]

As a matter of fact, yes I do, to look up things if I can't find them in WB 2014. Thanks for the tip.

I assume this will not solve the disappearing spaces problem. If it should, please let me know. Also, how would you let us know when you found a solution for that problem?

There are update announcements in Announcements thread. If the list of changes contains bugfix for snippets then you'll know it's fixed.
