The XML Editor is pretty aggressive insisting that an end tag is inserted, even if i am editing a text attribute on an node.
As i use code templates in my xml, and thus often hit enter while editing an attribute, a close tag is inserted inside the attribute value text.
It makes sense that a close / end tag is inserted, but it should not be suggested when editing an attribute.

The issue actually is not only when editing a property. 
In the screenshot example the editor start suggesting that i should insert a close-tag for the parent-node to the one i am typing - even thou the parent node is closed correctly below.

Can't reproduce on a dev build; when invoking CC after tag name (without >), nothing is offered.
Could you please provide exact files + what exact plugin/version do you  use for GWT development ?

I just tried again, and as you i can no longer reproduce the issue. 

For the record i do not use any plugin for gwt development - so the issue were in the general xml editor.

Thanks for looking into this.
