Description randahl 2005-04-27 15:45:34 UTC 
If I type this

propertyRights.add(newModifyPropertyRight("layoutConstraints", null);

It is clear that I have missed a closing paranthesis. However if I place the
cursor here

propertyRights.add(newModifyPropertyRight("layoutConstraints", null|);

and type a paranthesis NetBeans will simply replace the paranthesis already
there with the newly typed one, leaving me with the same incorrect code.

We cannot handle this well without either knowing the balance of the parenthesis
throughout the file or better knowing the immediate syntactic structure of the
source by using local parsing. It is in progress though it's not clear when
exactly that will be finished. Setting TM to future preliminarily.
