I’m having strange problems with source-code formatter in MyEclipse visual (X)HTML editors (both HTML and XHTML)….

I have an .xhtml file like this:

<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
  xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
  xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
  template="WEB-INF/templates/main-template.xhtml">

  
  <p>
    <a href="#" onclick='showSourceDialog("#code3");'>show code</a>
  </p>
  <p>
    <a href="#" onclick='showSourceDialog("#code3");'>show code</a>
  </p>
  <p>
    <a href="#" onclick='showSourceDialog("#code3");'>show code</a>
  </p>
  <p>
    <a href="#" onclick='showSourceDialog("#code3");'>show code</a>
  </p>

</ui:composition>

If I format it (CTRL-SHIFT-F) I get something like this:

<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
  xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
  xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
  template="WEB-INF/templates/main-template.xhtml">


  <p>
    <a href="#" onclick='showSourceDialog("#code3");'>show code</a>
  </p>
  <p>
    <a href="#" onclick='showSourceDialog("#code3");'>show code</a>
  </p>
  <p>
    <a href="#" onclick='showSourceDialog("#code3");'>show code</a>
  </p>
  <p>
    <a href="#" onclick=
    showSourceDialog("#code3");;
>show code</a>
  </p>

</ui:composition>

As you see – strange things happen to the onclick attribute of the last A tag – it gets broken by the formatter (no quote characters, duplicated semicolon at the end)! At the start it’s EXACTLY the same as the ones above it – always last <a> gets broken…

My version of MyEclipse: Version: 7.5
Build id: 7.5-20090609

wciesiel,
Thank you for bringing this up. I could replicate this issue.
I have raised a PR with the dev team.
