Strange behaviour when using HTML auto completion

Description 

Hi

I've noticed a strange behaviour of PHPEclipse that
seems to come with the auto completion of HTML. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Close Eclipse
2. Open Eclipse
3. Open an existing(!) php file
4. Go to the end of the file
5. Type "<ht" (without ")
6. auto completion box will open - choose "<html - html
page with head, title, body" and press return
7. the code will appear
8. go with your text cursor in front of the line called
"cursor"

Now some strange things happen:
1. hit the tab key. this will put the cursor in front
of "title" and mark it. pressing tab again will lead to
"cursor" again. (Is this behaviour normal or wanted?
Can I disable it?)
2. delete the word "cursor" and type something else.
You cannot indent the line with tab. Instead of this
the cursor will go to "title" again.
3. the return button has no effect in the line where
the word "cursor" is.

This behaviour seems to disappear sometimes somehow -
but I don't know really under which circumstances. If
one of the described behaviours doesn't appear, just
restart Eclipse, redo the step 3 - 8 and choose the
"behaviour" (1 - 3) again.

To "solve" this behaviour(s) you has to restart eclipse.



There is another bug which might be connect to this
one. Just do the steps 1 - 5. Then switch to another
application. Now switch back to eclipse. The auto
completion box has disappeared. Hit Ctrl+Space
(normally, this should reopen the completion box) and
you get an error that says:
"java.lang.NullPointerException"

----
I'm using Eclipse 3.1.1 Build-ID: M20050929-0840 and
PHPEclipse from your homepage. (seems to be version
1.1.7; no cvs snapshot)

Are you still having this issue? What version of PHPEclipse are you using now? I could not find the line with "cursor" in it. I will have someone else check.

Thanks.

This is the normal behavior when a template is placed in the code.

R1: Pressing Tab makes the cursor jumps through macros (i.e. $title, $keywords and $cursor) around the placed template;
R2: This does not occur with the current CVS. Pressing Tab behaves mentioned as above. There is no word "cursor", the $cursor macro gets replaced by the cursor itself;
R3: Pressing return ends the template placement and macro editing process and the user can indent the line/content.

I'm closing this issue.
