config file grows infinitely

[tiwag]

there is a bug somehow with the lexer configuration storage ...

each time you open & close CB the config file grows with a few empty lines in the SET2 of the lexers

has anyone changed something there recently ?

I never understood why we need to copy all lexers (even ones that you have never used before) into the config, anyway.

I could imagine it has to do with the recent change of strings being stored as CDATA. But then, on the other hand side... I can't imagine how that could lead to empty newlines being inserted...

i've deleted all the lexer config from the config file and configured it new, now it doesn't grow any more

insert any string with a ']'  ??? could this make troubles ?

Actually I'd expect this to work. After all, CDATA must be able to hold any kind of character data, so the xml library had better escape anything that may be a problem.

Did you insert that ']' programatically, or by hacking the xml file?

[tiwag]

i'm innocent - as always 

no seriously,

what i've done:

i added a second configuration set,
added some keywords to the C/C++ lexer ( byte word ... ) but nothing which i can remember with any ']'

after i got problems with the TODO plugin (username not editable) i wanted to edit my config file
before i did that, i made a backup copy (which was already 380kb big, which made me suspiciously already)
then started/closed CB again and then i saw, that the config file was 2kB bigger than before.

i did a file compare and saw many many empty lines before the

between the

< >   and the

#  characters in that part of the config file,
which i've posted previously.
and after looking closer, i found, that there were almost all lexers with the same behaviour.

after deleting all lexer-config in my config file, it didn't happen again, but i'll keep an eye about ...

[tiwag]

here is a copy of the config file, which is growing inf.

maybe you can find the problem then
