CFBuilder Suddenly Showing Whitespace Chars, Sorta
All of a sudden today, CFBuilder has begun to show whitespace characters. But not really. They are showing up in a very light grey font, as opposed to the dark grey font if you have them turned on in preferences. I have gone several times to Window Preferences General Editors Text Editors and verified that 'Show whitespace characters' is *not* checked. I have even toggled it off and on, hitting 'Apply' 'OK' to ensure the changes take effect. I have closed and reopened CFB numerous times. But these damn characters are still showing up, which is terribly distracting. Any ideas as to how I can get rid of them again? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:340913 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Create a new workspace (at least temporarily) and DO NOT copy settings. See if this changes anything. If it does then some setting in your workspace got altered or corrupted.

Matt, You probably accidentally hit Ctrl+. Try that key combination and see if it doesn't turn them off. Same thing happened to me. Here's a Ray Camden blog posthttp://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2010/4/30/Eclipse-Tip--Whitespace-characters-visible-when-they-are-turned-offabout it. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560 ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:340915 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

@ Wil - Thanks for the suggestion. Thankfully, I did not have to resort to that. :-) @ Tom - Thanks for the link. That ended up being exactly what it was. I guess I should have checked Ray's site myself, eh? feel what=sheepish / For anyone else that happens upon this thread in the future, the key combination I had somehow unknowingly hit is [ctrl] and [period], simultaneously. That is, *ctrl+.* . (Note that I am *not* saying [ctrl] and [plus]. That is a shortcut to cfset .) ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:340916 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

I was in a preso about CFB and the speaker turned this on to demonstrate something about indentation or something and I was like Whoa! You can show non-printing characters in the source? What's the shortcut for that? - this is like the #1 useful shortcut key in any editor that I use so I can see spaces at the end of lines and spaces mixed in with tabs etc (because I'm anal about that). -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive. -- Margaret Atw ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:340918 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
