           Summary: projectname.kdevelop file seems to randomly switch
                    between both forms of XML empty elements
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-bugs kdevelop org
        ReportedBy: ian.e.mackenzie gmail com


Version:           3.3.5 (using KDE 3.5.5, Gentoo)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.18-gentoo

My KDevelop project file (in my case, libcaddis.kdevelop) seems to switch randomly between <element></element> and <element/> forms of empty elements.  For instance, <prefixGet></prefixGet> sometimes changes to <prefixGet/> and sometimes changes back.

This isn't really a big deal, as it doesn't affect any functionality, but I have the libcaddis.kdevelop file under version control, so every time these spurious changes are made I have to commit the file again, and make sure to update it on my other computer to avoid getting any conflicts.  It would be nice if KDevelop used only one form for empty elements, as it would mean I would only have to commit updates to the libcaddis.kdevelop file only when actual changes were made.

I haven't noticed a definite pattern as to when the file gets changed, and which elements do (usually it's several), but if necessary I could play around and see if I can reproduce it reliably.
