Description matthies 2007-12-13 13:18:32 UTC

When changing Java code formatting options in the Options dialog, the formatting preview's scroll position should be 
maintained when modifying options. Otherwise you have to constantly scroll to see the effect of the modifications when 
it affects some lower or right-hand part of the preview code.

Still reproducable in 6.8 Beta.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,

This issue is still present in dev build 201607060002 in the following cases:

1. "Tabs and Indents" section: changing any field
2. "Braces" section: Setting placement from any value to "Same Line"
3. "Comments": If you scroll to the bottom of the preview window, then toggle "format block comments" then the scrollbar moved unexpectedly. This problem (toggling settings while the scrollbar is at the bottom) seems to impact all other sections as well.
4. "Naming" section: Entering a number in "prefix" causes the wrong formatting in the Preview window instead of indicating that it is illegal for the prefix to begin with a number.

Comment 9 matthies 2016-07-18 20:00:53 UTC

Still relevant in current dev build.
