comments in the xml seems to influence the structure of split panels

Hi,

we figured out a weird behaviour using comments in the xml code building up a split panel.

This code displays a correct split panel:

<splitPanel dividerLocation="70%">
   <events>
    <postInitialize action="action1"/>
   </events>
   <top panelName="splitt1"/>
   <bottom panelName="splitt2"/>
</splitPanel>

If you now add a comment above the <top>, the bottom panel sometimes disappears:

<splitPanel dividerLocation="70%">
   <events>
    <postInitialize action="action1"/>
   </events>

   <!-- Comment -->

   <top panelName="splitt1"/>
   <bottom panelName="splitt2"/>
</splitPanel>

Adding the comment below the <top> the top-panel disappears, but the bottom one is shown:

<splitPanel dividerLocation="70%">
   <events>
    <postInitialize action="action1"/>
   </events>
   <top panelName="splitt1"/>

   <!-- Comment -->

   <bottom panelName="splitt2"/>
</splitPanel>

Unfortunately this behaviour is not 100% reproduceable. Sometimes both panels are shown correctly, sometimes not. We spent a lot of time to figure out that this is influenced by the comments.

We're now using no comments in the xml defining split panel, but it would be nice to use them again ;-)

Best Regards,

Michael
