Problem with editing views

Question

I'm connected to an instance as SYSTEM and I am trying to edit a view owned by an application schema owner. The view references a packaged function via a public synonym but when attempting to edit the SQL the dot notation for the package name and table owners is being stripped out and SQLDeveloper reports that the code is invalid.
To illustrate, this is what the code looks like in SQL*Plus:
SELECT scj_stuc AS student_play_ref
,prs_name AS tutor_name
,NVL (prs_emad, its_util_pkg.lse_email (prs_code)) AS tutor_email
FROM intuit.srs_scj, intuit.ins_prs
WHERE scj_prsc = prs_code
AND scj_stac = 'U'
AND scj_prsc IS NOT NULL;
And this is what it looks like in the edit window of SQLDeveloper:
SELECT scj_stuc AS student_play_ref
,prs_name AS tutor_name
,NVL (prs_emad, lse_email (prs_code)) AS tutor_email
FROM srs_scj, ins_prs
WHERE scj_prsc = prs_code
AND scj_stac = 'U'
AND scj_prsc IS NOT NULL;
The view is then invalid as the reference to LSE_EMAIL cannot be resolved.
On a related point, checking GRANTS and DEPENDENCIES for the view only seems to work correctly when connected as the owner of the view. As a DBA I only want to connect as SYSTEM to work with all the objects in the instance.

Answer 1

I tested this using 1215. I did a simple test with a view being created as a select * from another_user.table. When I view the DDL tab I see the table owner prefix and when I click to edit I see the table owner prefix.
When I included a function with a prefix, that was stripped out when I clicked the edit icon but was preserved by the SQL tab. That may be because the function was owned by the same user that owned the table. I tried it was a function owned by another user and this time the owner was preserved.
Are you using 1215?
