Description sapanparikh18 2008-11-07 16:15:57 UTC 
Hello,
This is a small but sometimes annoying issue. 
Steps: we will try this with "trycatch" template
Step1:type "trycatcj", this is intentionally misspelled (when a user makes a typo)
Step2:Hit tab. It would not insert the template, this time the user realizes about the typo
Step3:Go back delete the last character and type 'h'. Hitting tab now doesn't insert the template.
Step3: To insert the template you have to delete the whole thing and type it again.

I recall this issue was discussed here before - the problem is that you would never be able to type "TAB" after a
template code (for example there would be no normal way of inserting "trycatch<tab>" in editor - tab would expand the
template).

I will now lower the priority of the issue to P4...
Comment 2 sapanparikh18 2008-11-10 18:10:01 UTC 
So if a user really has to add a tab after "trycatch" how can he do that right now in v-6.1?

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,
