Description pzgyuanf 2004-08-30 13:53:41 UTC

Abbreviation function, when input error but 
correct it, the function is lost.(eg. "br" is 
abbr of "break", but I input "bt" and correct it
to "br" by delect the "t" character and append a
"r" character)

Currently it is "as design" behaviour. 

It is something like workaround for those that do not know the
Shift+Space shortcut.
As mentioned at:
http://editor.netbeans.org/doc/UserView/abbrevs.html
Shift + SPACE can be used for inserting space w/o expading abbrev.

Now if you type i.e. "le" and type space it is expand to length. After
CTRL+Z and space "le " can be typed.

So, now the abbrevs work only if the abbrevs characters are typed
sequentialy.

Unfortunatelly it brings also unwanted side effects - like this issue. 
It seems, we should find a better solution. I am leaving this issue
open, changing it to enhancement.

Should be fixed in current dev build.
