SQL Developer 2.1rc1 - some bugs

Question

Hi!
I'd like to report some bugs I've encountered with the RC1 version of Oracle SQL Developer (Version 2.1.0.63 build MAIN-63.41).
- The syntax error highlighting is not very good - I've successfully executed queries almost completely underlined with pink wavy lines
- something strange happens when I hit <Enter> while the cursor is at the end of a row that reads " union all" - a new line does not get inserted, and the cursor disappears. <Backspace> and <Enter> again, and it works ok.
- query execution - the command I entered gets modified, stripped of comments, as far as I can tell, and if I get an error report, the line number reported is off by a couple of lines. I remember this working better in 1.5.

Answer 1

I found a few bugs in the first ten minutes of use:
- The main one was that my backspace key didn't work, no idea why this was as my keyboard is pretty standard?
- The search/highlight window changes size when adding a new highlight, and the close button then disappears until it's re-sized
- Editing xmldata in a window works, if it's not syntax highlighted or able to be pretty printed, but clicking ok does not change the value? Should either work or warn that it doesn't work.
- In the query result window is 'SQL' in blue, not easy to notice that it's a button'y thing to click and see the SQL that was executed. Also, why does the little bubble with the code just float in the middle and not point to anything in particular? Surely it could point to the 'SQL' button or similar?
