Each word turning into a tag when editing in XML?
A few days ago I started having a problem that is driving me mad (it happened with the two latest EAPs, I'm now using IU-94.539). When typing in an XML file, every word is turned into a tag after I press enter...
So, for instance, in this file
<messagebundle >
<msg name="InvalidIp"
desc="Error message shown when max filters number is exceeded.">
Too many blocked sites. The maximum number of urls that can be blocked is <ph name="MAX_FILTERS"><ex>1500</ex>%1</ph>.
You have <ph name="REMAINING_FILTERS"><ex>4</ex>%2</ph> remaining filters.
</msg>
</messagebundle>
If I type "aaa" followed by a space right after the msg tag I get:
<messagebundle >
<aaa></aaa>
<msg name="InvalidIp"
desc="Error message shown when max filters number is exceeded.">
Too many blocked sites. The maximum number of urls that can be blocked is <ph name="MAX_FILTERS"><ex>1500</ex>%1</ph>.
You have <ph name="REMAINING_FILTERS"><ex>4</ex>%2</ph> remaining filters.
</msg>
</messagebundle>
<aaa></aaa>
<msg name="InvalidIp"
desc="Error message shown when max filters number is exceeded.">
Too many blocked sites. The maximum number of urls that can be blocked is <ph name="MAX_FILTERS"><ex>1500</ex>%1</ph>.
You have <ph name="REMAINING_FILTERS"><ex>4</ex>%2</ph> remaining filters.
</msg>
</messagebundle>
if I type fast, only a part of the word is used for the tag. E.g. if I type "test" fast I get:
<messagebundle >
te
<st></st>
<msg name="InvalidIp"
desc="Error message shown when max filters number is exceeded.">
Too many blocked sites. The maximum number of urls that can be blocked is <ph name="MAX_FILTERS"><ex>1500</ex>%1</ph>.
You have <ph name="REMAINING_FILTERS"><ex>4</ex>%2</ph> remaining filters.
</msg>
</messagebundle>
te
<st></st>
<msg name="InvalidIp"
desc="Error message shown when max filters number is exceeded.">
Too many blocked sites. The maximum number of urls that can be blocked is <ph name="MAX_FILTERS"><ex>1500</ex>%1</ph>.
You have <ph name="REMAINING_FILTERS"><ex>4</ex>%2</ph> remaining filters.
</msg>
</messagebundle>
any idea about what could be causing this?
Just in case I attach my live templates configuration files.

Hello Davide,
This is not a problem, but a new feature:

It can be turned off in Settings | Editor | Smart Keys.

Uh, that was unexpected!
I understand the rationale for the feature, but its implementation leaves me puzzled.
For instance: why do I get tags created when I'm typing inside a string? E.g.:
<msg name="InvalidIp"
desc="Error message shown |when max filters number is exceeded.">
Type "test" where the caret is, I get:
<msg name="InvalidIp"
desc="Error message shown <test></test>when max filters number is exceeded.">
also, there's no way to get a comment. Typing "<!--" followed by space I get:
<!<-->
</-->
fix the thing by hand, get this: <!-- | --> and start typing, I get:
<!-- <typing></typing> -->
Also, if I type:
form.form-comment
too fast and press space, I get:
form.form-comme
<nt></nt>
only if I wait a bit before pressing space I get this:
<form ></form>
Also, if I type "a" followed by a number of "space" chars, I get this:
<a
<><><><><><><><>></>></>></>></>></>></>></>></>></a>
which doesn't make much sense.
I think I will turn the feature off for now.
yup, I thought I had an error in my templates because I was having same issues. I have my templates triggered on "space" character and this new feature is really pain in the ass.
I ended up turning my templates be triggered by the tab key..
