Ah, sorry, I was trying to

Ah, sorry, I was trying to think of a way of showing where the cursor would be so using what you've got it'd be like this

if |( isset|( $x |) |)

and the cursor could be at any of the indicated points. This is on Gentoo Linux coding PHP with UTF-8 encoding. I've got a en_gb keyboard and it's entered by pressing Shift-3. The bracket can be any bracket that gets highlighted (i.e. it's showing you it's matching bracket).

I was able to grab a screenshot of it at

http://espadav8.co.uk/gallery/index.php?id=idfe70356310af2bdca52d0751487...

The bracket there is the close of a function in a class, although like I said all brackets will do that. I'm not sure if it's the pound sign causing it or if it'd do it with any Shift-3 key combo.

If you think it might be a bug then I'll register with bugzilla then and post it there too.

Thanks
Andy

More info please...

Which platform and OS does this happen with?

Which programming language are you
working on when this happens?

What's the encoding of the buffer?

By "bracket" do you mean square bracket or curly bracket?
Left or right?

How do you enter the pound character? On an en-CA system
I used the Windows Character Map program to paste it in,
and couldn't repro the problem.

I usually represent typing situations like the one
you're descibing like so:

Here's my Perl code:

....my $a = $b->[foo<|>]

-- I represent leading spaces with a "." so they're visible

-- The cursor location is at "<|>"

This is a good forum to discuss problems, but they're more along
the lines of "I think this feature should do X, but it's doing
Y -- what do I need to do"? Someone will spring to an answer,
and we'll figure out why action Y happened.

If it's a definite bug, a better place to log the bug is here:

Minor bug with brackets and pound signs (Â£)

Hopefully this is the right place to report bugs. I've just found a (very minor) bug by accident. When you have a bracket highlighted to the right (so the cursor is to the left of the bracket) and enter a pound sign 'Â£' (U+00A3) the selected line flashes briefly and shows what looks like 'Ã…3'.

It really is a minor minor bug, and doesn't in any way affect the work flow or anything, just something I noticed that shouldn't really happen.
