[ve-dev] i need help working with ve

["Christian Kaiser" <c.kaiser@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Developers,

i am just working with the visual editor. 
Sometimes it works fine.
Sometimes the editor doesn`t display the same code that worked before.

The exception in the log-file comes attached.


>From time to time restarting eclipse or deleting the files in .metadata/plugins/ve put things right.

Another issue:
Sometimes elements are shown outside the panel.
After dragging them inside, the editor is fine again.
Although the souce code did`t change.
Why is that?

Is there any documentation out there, how to deal with buggy behaviour.

Thank you very much,
regards,

christian
