Bug? Paste in IDE changes case of some words (keywords)

alwaysbusy · Jan 15, 2016

When you paste some text e.g. "This is for the test", it is changed to "This Is For the test"

It uppercased the I from Is and the F from for. I suspect it has something to do with them being keywords.

This is especially hurtful when you want to paste some javascript in a $""$ structure. It is not something you notice immidiately, but it can be a long search to find out why the script does not run.

Weird thing is it doesn't happen all the time. Maybe just when the IDE is in a 'check the code cycle'?

Adding only $" before pasting the string doesn't work ?

I'm going to try to keep an eye on when it happens. It's not going to be easy... When I'm programming, I'm in the zone

First I thought I made some mistakes myself, but I really think something is going on.

If it's only a single line paste, the adding a ' to make it a comment will work, you can change it as you want afterwards. Yes, the IDE is parsing the pasted text.

I haven't tried it, but I suspect that if you paste it into the middle of $""$ it will be OK too.

If it happens inside a string literal then it is a bug. I wasn't able to reproduce it (when the code was valid, which means that the string was declared inside a sub).

I got this problem, but can't reproduce it

anyway I take this opportunity to fix a small problem with the string literals:
With this code:

B4X:

Private Sub GetMapHtml(Address As String) As String
    Dim Key As String = "123456789"
    Dim su As StringUtils
    Dim s As String
    s = $"<!DOCTYPE html>
        <head>
            <style Type='text/css'>
                html, body
                {
                padding:0px;
                margin:0px;
                width: 100%;
                height: 100%;
                overflow-x:hidden;
                overflow-y:hidden;
                }
            </style>
        </head>
      
        <body>
            <div>
                <iframe
                width="100%"
                height="100%"
                style="padding:0px; border: 0; overflow: hidden; height: 100%; width: 100%; position: absolute;"
                src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/place?q=${su.EncodeUrl(Address.Replace(" ", "+"), "UTF8")}&key=${Key}"
                allowfullscreen></iframe>
            </div>
        </body>
    </html>
    "$
End Sub

The coloring is wrong:

Edit: the forum displays it correctly though

This is a known issue / current limitation. It shouldn't affect the actual string or code.
