Heh, the new BBEdit 10 has a "Strip trailing whitespace" preference.

I just resaved LJ/User.pm for the first time with that feature turned on, and it found several instances of trailing whitespace to strip out for me.

Whee!

I think there's a strip-trailing-whitespace in my version of BBEdit (8.2.4) as well. I can't find it on an immediate searchthrough, but that's because BBEdit is a definite case of "more options = bad UI" *G*

I've been pondering doing a trailing-whitespace strip on the whole codebase, but it's really far down on my priority list, heh.

Until recently I had 8.7 and either didn't have it or didn't find it. The prefs UI in v10 is much improved!

*nod* I took a brief look to see if I could find it just now and I can't, so I may have been imagining it. I don't think I was, but I might've been confusing it with a different program...

BBEdit bug report

(Submitted via http://www.barebones.com/contact/technical.html)

I just noticed a bug in the Perl syntax coloring engine. If a hash key is the bare string 's' (without the quotes), it is treated as the substitution operator instead of a hash key. Adding unnecessary quotes around the 's' works around the problem.

I am using the most recent version (10.0.1).

Examples of incorrectly colored code follow:

dblog( $u, { s => $subject } );

This will "eat" all subsequent syntax coloring until the parser sees two more = symbols.

chomp $info->{s};

Same, except looks for subsequent } symbols.

Thanks for listening.
