Format SQL is still a nightmare, latest version

Question

Sorry,
Format SQL is still a nightmare.
It works neither in SQL nor in P/SQL.
a) in SQL (or an anonymous block) at least nothing happens
b) in a function (PL/SQL) after a Ctrl+B the complete code disappears
Has this ever been tested somehow.

Answer 1

I just tried switching Wrap off per Tom True's post and it seems to fix the problem :-)
I'm seeing the same features using:-
SQL Developer ver: 1.1.2.25
Java Platform ver: 1.5.0_05
Oracle IDE ver: 1.1.2.25.79
In SQL window
If I try to format any piece of code, nothing changes (good news is nothing is deleted). The message in the bottom left hand corner is 'Formatting Failed'.
In a PL/SQL window (eg. editing a trigger)
If I use the format command everything disappears leaving one line of text. For example I start with:-
create or replace
TRIGGER trigger1_TRG BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON table1
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
if inserting and :new.column_a is NULL then
SELECT trigger1_SEQ.nextval into :new.column_a FROM DUAL;
end if;
END;
Then I execute the format command and the result is:-
CREATEcolumn_a.nextvalcolumn_a;
Either way the formatting function has broken since I upgraded from a previous version. I might consider reinstalling but unsure if I can save all of the settings. If anyone knows how to do that (not just the connections) then I'd appreciate their suggestions.
Regards,
Ian
