Parentheses



Hi Dave,

Hope this doesn't push your blood pressure any further, but here's a 
small funny I found using Beta 3 (16 October, rev: 5475:5496) - maybe 
it's already been noted and fixed? -

(i) In the SQL query editor, enter an empty pair of parentheses: ().
(ii) The matching mechanism kicks in, and highlights them with blue; 
at the same time the cursor jumps one space further to the right, 
leaving the parenthese and the empty space all highlighted in blue.
(iii) Try moving the cursor to the left using left-arrow: the first 
keypress moves it over the empty space, while the second one moves it 
over both parentheses together!
(iv) Just moving the cursor around with the arrow keys, one might 
think it impossible to place it inside the parentheses......but place 
it immediately to the right of the closing one and begin typing, and 
the text appears correctly between the parentheses.

Thanks for all the hard work!

--Ray.
