Gnatbench 2.3.1 doing funny thing - any ideas?

[John McCabe]

I'm playing around with Eclipse Ganymede and Gnatbench (again).

I have a strange thing happening in the editor and haven't the
faintest idea where to look to see why this is happening so I hope
someone can point me in the right direction.

Basically I have a little program, just playing with it as a bit of a
reminder as I don't use Ada in anger these days...

1 ) with Ada.Text_Io;
2 ) with Ada.Integer_Text_Io;
3 ) with Ada.Exceptions;
4 )
5 ) procedure Mainproc is
6 )
7 )    protected type Mutex_Type is
8 )       entry Wait;
9 )       procedure Release;
10)    private
11)       Open : Boolean := True;
12)    end Mutex_Type;
13)
14)    protected body Mutex_Type is
15)       entry Wait when Open is
16)       begin
17)          Open := False;
18)       end Wait;
19)
20)       procedure Release is
21)       begin
22)          Open := True;
23)       end Release;
24)    end Mutex_Type;
25)
26)    Mutex_Po : Mutex_Type;
27)
28)    task type Synctask_Po (Id : Integer) is
29)       entry Startup;
30)    end Synctask_Po;
31)
32)    task body Synctask_Po is
33)       Usual_Delay : constant Duration := 1.0 + Duration (Id) /
10.0;
34)    begin
35)       accept Startup;
36)       while True
37)       loop
38)          Ada.Text_Io.Put_Line ("Task" & Integer'Image(Id) & ":
Waiting for Entry");
39)          Mutex_Po.Wait;
40)
41)          Ada.Text_Io.Put_Line ("Task" & Integer'Image(Id) & ": in
Critical Section");
42)          delay Usual_Delay;
43)
44)          Ada.Text_Io.Put_Line ("Task" & Integer'Image(Id) & ":
Releasing");
45)          Mutex_Po.Release;
46)          delay Usual_Delay;
47)       end loop;
48)    exception
49)       when X : others =>
50)          Ada.Text_Io.Put ("Exception occurred in synctask_po" &
51)                           Integer'Image(Id) &
52)                           ": " &
53)                           Ada.Exceptions.Exception_Name
(Ada.Exceptions.Exception_Identity (X)) &
54)                           " : " &
55)                           Ada.Exceptions.Exception_Message (X));
56)    end Synctask_Po;
57)
58)    type Synctask_Po_Access is access all Synctask_Po;
59)    Synctask_Po_Arr : array (1 .. 3) of Synctask_Po_Access;
60)
61) begin
62)    for I in 1 .. 3 loop
63)       Synctask_Po_Arr (I) := new Synctask_Po (I);
64)       Synctask_Po_Arr (I).Startup;
65)    end loop;
66) 
67) end Mainproc;

Now, on most lines, if I go to the start of the line and press the
enter key, it just gives me a blank line and moves the line I'm on
down one, putting the cursor at the start of the text. However, on
lines 38, 41 and 44 if I do that, it does the same sort of thing, but
prepends an extra "A" on to the line, so I get AAda.Text_Io...

In the Ada preferences, "Editor" section, I've got:

Save altered files before completion
Remove trailing spaces when saving
NOT Use smart space key
Minimum word lenght for expansion consideration = 3
Use smart tab key
Highlight matching brackets
Matching brackets highlight color [kind of grey]
NOT Insert header text into new Ada aource files
File containing.... both blank.

In the "Coding Style" I've got...
extended
3
2
1
3
0
automatic
lower_case
Mixed_Case
Format operators/delimiters
NOT use tabulations
NOT align colons
NOT align associations
NOT align declaration
Indent comments
NOT align comments

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks
John

Quick update, changing "Coding style mode" to "simple" instead of
"extended" seems to fix it, but why?

GNATbench has some bugs involving dot completion, lines containing
dots and certain character sets.  I think this particular bug has been
reported to AdaCore and may be fixed in the next version.

I thought I might get a sensible answer from you :-) Thanks, I'll bear
that in mind,
