Android - After modifying layouts in "Graphical Layout", code changes automatically when scrolled through. How to avoid this?

Question

Eclipse with Android layout's main.xml?

I'm trying to design a layout, statically. I wrote an xml file and I'm, now, modifying it under Graphical Layout mode. However, when I switch back to the XML Editor and scroll through the code, the code seems to change automatically. I even tried refreshing the file from package explorer but still in vain. Now, I know this issue since long but had neglected it. How to avoid such a thing from happening? Thanks.

There are a million duplicates of this question. – Jimbali Sep 03 '12 at 14:56 — Jimbali, Sep 03 '12 at 14:56

my advise is don't do any modification under the Graphical Layout only inside the XML Editor, the Android support from Graphical Layout is a bit lame , i do all my modification from the Xml Editor

Set Off the option: Preferences | Android | Editors | "Automatically format the XML edited by the visual layout editor" and you should be OK. With this option OFF and with Juno - the latest version - I don't seem to have this problem anymore with the Graphical Editor but I still do have it with the AndroidManifest.xml file; which use another editor. – SylvainL Sep 18 '12 at 16:07
