Description

« Hide

This happens in language injected code in xml. I have some JavaScript inside a CDATA tag
Each character change I make to the xml document causes syntax highlighting in the JavaScript to flicker on and off in the whole document.

I am not using IntelliLang here...

This is odd (in a good way).
I noticed that the file I was working on did not flicker.
Apparently only some files exhibit this flickering behavior.

I attached the non flickering file here also.

Ok, now I have managed to isolate the problem down to one single statement that causes the flickering.

I uploaded a new version of JLDlgTest.xml.
It flickers while typing. Remove lines 39 and 40 and the flickering goes away.
You must remove them. Commenting them out does not help.
