In these shots I had to build my own cursor since the snapshot didn't show the caret.

Here is my template:


You can see the cursor is supposed to be placed just before the parens...

I type "function", then hit CTRL-J to make that template replace my "function" text:


This is the result:


The caret is sitting 2 characters behind where I wanted it to be.

A work around in the interim is setting the caret to be 3 chars beyond where you want the insertion to land:


I think I've narrowed down the problem to be 'tab' characters and linefeed characters or a combination of whitespace characters. Single line templates work fine if they dont have whitespace:


Works fine. Odd..
