tcl syntax checker: umlaut (ü) triggers warning "possibly bad continuation line"

[oehhar]

Thank you for kommodo 9.3.
The syntax button nearly gets unusable. I normally have around 300 warnings per file and the widget tries to show this list in a menu, very usable...
The warning count is due to bugs introduced in 9.0 and not jet fixed.
Before, I was quite happy with Kommodo and the tcl syntax checker.
Since one year, even the simplest bugs are not fixed any more and only new ones introduced. Instead, bugs are just closed without fixes. New style at ActiveState....

Another new one:

Take this script encoded in utf-8 in the editor under name test.tcl:

array set moduleInfo [list\
        ExitCmd [namespace code Exit]\
        ]
# any text possible
# ü

If there is an umlaut "ü" following anywhere, a warning "possibly bad continuation line, blank line after backslash" is shown at the "" after "Exit ]".

Sorry for moaning, but it is just getting worse with each release, sorry...
I will not speak about "Indent preference settings and so on".
Anything was lost again when 9.2 was updated to 9.3. I still set the settings manually to each file....
Of cause, it is getting smarter, but bugs are just not fixed.
I also considered not to report any more, if they are just closed and thats it.
Anyway, you must be happy with your style.
Best regards,
Harald

New style at ActiveState...

We did not adopt a new "screw bugs and our users" style, I'm sorry you are seeing these issues but that hardly seems like a logical conclusion to draw from any of this.

For the umlaut issue; the fact is that when I use the sample code given in the linked issue with a supporting encoding format I do not get any syntax errors. Are you certain you are using the right encoding?

As for your profile upgrade issue, this sounds very odd. Sounds a bit as if your user does not have full read/write permissions to your profile folder.

Given the fact that you are apparently seeing a lot of issues that could easily stem from a corrupted profile folder I would suggest you try and reset your profile folder altogether, see the documentation for more info: http://docs.komodoide.com/Troubleshooting/How-do-I-Start-Komodo-with-Default-Settings#how-do-i-start-komodo-with-default-settings_completely-reset-your-settings

Thank you for the answer. The link is no solution. The without solution closed bug is of cause still pending.

About the umlaut issue. how to reproduce (with Komodo 9.2, Komdo 9.3 left the harddisk due to all the introduced bugs and inconveniences):

• Start Komodo
• Ctrl+Shift+N
• Choose Template "TCL"
• Press Open
• Remove all template text
• Paste the following text:

array set moduleInfo [list\
        ExitCmd [namespace code Exit]\
        ]
# any text possible
# ü

The komodo window looks like below. Apparently, komodo choses to use utf-8 as encoding for new tcl files (quite ambitious ;-) ).

Thank you,
Harald

Thanks for the steps to reproduce @oehhar, I've finally been able to reproduce it on my end.

Thank you, good news.
Here is a typical picture showing the issue several times per file:
