Screenshot of Improper Bracket Highlight in Ver. 16.08.3
Screenshot showing improper activation of preceding bracket set for assignment of 'pp' when cursor is at the bracket closing position for the 'popen' command.
Works for me with 19.04 and master. |
Created attachment 102240 [details] Screenshot of Proper Bracket Highlight of Enclosed Parenthetical kate/kwrite ver. 16.08.3. The bracket highlight in kate/kwrite highlights the previous set's opening bracket instead of the opening for the current bracket set. Take for example the following C code (with the cursor position denoted by the pipe '|'): if (!(pp = popen (cmd, "r")|)) { In all previous versions of kate/kwrite the open parenthesis '(' before command would be highlighted by bracket highlight to show the closing parenthesis just typed would be closing the set related to the 'popen' command, e.g. popen (cmd, "r") This is the expected behavior. A screenshot is attached showing the expected proper highlighting as it currently works in k3 kwrite. Inexplicably, the bracket highlight in version 16.08.3 highlights the opening parenthesis before the assignment when the cursor is in the position shown. This is unexpected behavior and horribly distracting as the highlight should not display until the closing parenthesis is on the left of the current insertion point -- not to the right of the insertion point.
