I got a strange and very annoying phenomenon.

The following happens:

I open two or more methods in the editor, eg. methods A, B and C. The labels at the top (or side, makes no difference) read A, B, C (alphabetically sorted). I switch to method A and as soon as I make a change in the method’s source the labels read A, A, C. Only the labels changed, the methods’ sources are still a, b, c. This would also apply if method B has been changed: labels would be A, B, B. Editing method C would behave as expected. With more than three methods open more than the next right-handed method might change label, eg. A, B, C, D might become A, A, A, D when editing A. And so on…

The labels consist of method name and form name. Both change.

When opening many methods this becomes quite annoying since I lose track which method I’m really looking at.

Servoy is 3.5.9 / Windows XP

Hope that somebody can help.

What java version are you using ? Some version of java 1.6 had a bug that may be the cause of this . So, maybe try other java version.

Indeed, out of my head, java 1.6\_13 the bug is introduced. It will be fixed in 1.6\_18.

Look here, its the same bug:

Indeed, switching back to java version 1.5.12 fixed the issue. Thanks ![:D]( "Very Happy")
