Description misterm 2012-11-08 17:31:34 UTC 
I have a String in a method call like:

"Some string"

I selected the whole thing, since I wanted to paste:

Class.someMethod(
"Value", "Values", beans)

that I copied from another source file from the editor. It had this enter there due to formatting in the other file. The IDE pasted:

Class.someMethod(
\n" +
"				\"Value\", \"Values\", beans)

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what particular problem you are complaining about. Please note, that escaping of '\n' and '"' characters is as designed when pasted into a string literal (see http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201130).

Could you please create a simple step-by-step scenario and describe the problem in more details? Thanks.

Hi Dusan,

I don't think I've made myself clear. I am not pasting *in* a String, I am pasting *over* it, i.e., overwritting it. I am completely replacing "Some string" by the regular method call I mentioned before.

Is it clear now?

I see now. Thanks for prompt reply.

Fixed in jet-main.
