Description frankioski 2008-04-15 06:18:21 UTC

1. Opened up JSP file.
2. Made a simple change of deleting one character using the editor (did not save)
3. Undo previous change (Ctrl-z) (did not save)
4. Observed that the character is now put back, the file is now reverted back to original state, but the editor tab for
the file still shows an asterisk (*) beside the name, indicating that the file has changed.
The asterisk goes away only after saving.
This problem occurs with java and xml files also.  Former standard behavior in all previous versions was to not display
the asterisk after having cycled through the entire undo-change for a document using Ctrl-z repeatedly.  Why did this
feature go away?
