Pretty printer shows weird behavior

sven_fischer2 — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 09:45:11 GMT

Hello all,

I have the problem that the pretty printer at one of my customers shows the weird behavior that if I use it, all the lines are justified to the left, no indentation at all. I can help myself in a way that I copy the complete source and paste it again, which indents it, but e.g. the method calls are still indented left.

What I have checked:

Utilities->Settings-Pretty Printer: Indent is selected, Keyword Uppercase
In Code Editor->Formatting is also selected all

Where can I also look for PP settings? This happens only, when I am using the Citrix connection from remote (but other users using Citrix do not have the problem). If I login locally at the customers site, everything works normally, so it may be a setting in the logon pad, but where?

Thanks for your ideas, Sven

Hi Chandra,

thanks for your advise, but I already stated that I was using these settings already.

I tried by using old FE editor, and there was Pretty Printer working. So it had to do with the new FE editor.

And guess what? If you enable "Format after every Paste" in Formatting options of the new FE editor, the Pretty Printer breaks in my setup (this special Citrix server).

So I will just leave this option switched off, and all is fine.

Thanks, Sven

I had a similar prob with pretty printer (all lines left-justified, no indent etc.). I renamed the following files

settings.xml

abap_spec.xml

abap_user.xml

I found them in a local directory (c:\...\appdata\roaming\sap\sap gui\abap editor.

After a restart the function works now well.

Maybe this is helpful for others.

Hi Chandra Shekhar,

I tried the same way and I tried with all the combinations by checking/unchecking INDENT, but it did not work.

Thanks,

Madhav.

I had this issue too, probably caused by SAP GUI update. Deleting old .xml files solved my issue. Thanks.
