Creating new paragraphs while editing in the GEF sample text editor [message #189822]

Hi,

In the GEF Sample text editor, the command that handles the user pressing
"Enter" uses a SubdivideElement to create two new text runs. Is that the
correct behaviour? Pressing the enter key should create a new paragraph
should it not? Should the command also create a new container for the
second run after the split? I'm just wondering if this is an oversite in
the sample or if the behaviour was intentional and am I'm missing something
here ...

Thanks,

Josh

It is a simplification that only works in certain cases. If you are editing
an import statement, then ENTER causes it to be split into two "paragraphs".
It also works in the code section of our example.

For some reason the "javadoc" area is doing something dumb that doesn't
cause a newline.
