Bug - misplaced end;

I often put code for a given object in .inc files, and indclude the
file where it is needed.

Adding a procedure or function at the end of the include file,
triggers an odd behavior:

The "end;" that is (sometimes) atomagically added to the typed coding,
is placed after the
Code: [Select]{$I myinclude.inc} where the inc is included, and not in
the actual file edited....:
Code: [Select]{$I myinclude.inc}end;This leads to a
Code: [Select]*.pas(118,23) Fatal: Syntax error, "." expected but ";"
founderror

This a known bug, IIRC it is somewhere in the bugtracker.

I can reproduce and I observed what happens. Solution is to NOT write
to the latest line of include file.
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i procedure
zzz;begin|Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var
x1 = document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x
= document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i procedure
zzz;begin| The first case will add end; to the main file like that:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i {$I
umaindesign.inc}end;The second case adds it correctly:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i procedure
zzz;begin end;You can do a bugreport about it. I don't mind since I
always put two empty lines at the end of any *.pas or *.inc file and I
didn't face this bug (until you told me about).

EDIT:  Bart says it is already reported.
