Apply Source Formatting deletes code

[platypusman]

After typing a line of CSS and choosing Edit > Code > Apply Source Formatting, the entire line is deleted.

Undo also does not work in this case (does not undo the deletion, or bring back the line of code), so it is just gone.

(Screen capture attached.)

I use the auto formatting constantly, so this is a critical bug for me.

Try saving your document first to commit changes to hard disk --  File > Save (Ctrl/Cmd + S).

Then Apply Source Formatting.

Thanks Nancy.

Unfortunately that workaround didn't help.

When trying that, it also did something odd that didn't happen previously, which was to leave a stray period in place of the class it removed. I don't know what's causing this.

OK.  Unusual behavior usually means your Preferences File is corrupted. Restore it and that should fix the problems.
