----------------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> selectPreceding fails to skip over annotations
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: UIMA-5303
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-5303
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: uimaFIT
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0uimaFIT
> Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho
> Assignee: Richard Eckart de Castilho
> Fix For: 2.3.0uimaFIT
>
>
> The annotation index is sorted by begin (ascending) and end (descending).
> That effect is taken into account in selectFollowing and selectBetween to
> ensure that only annotations that begin after a certain offset or that lie
> entirely between two given offsets are returned.
> The present implementation of selectPreceding seeks backwards from the
> reference annotation until it finds the first annotation that ends before the
> start of the reference annotation. However, then it fails to recognize that
> the end offsets of annotations are not monotonically decreasing because the
> end-offset is only the secondary sorting criterium (the primary criterium is
> the begin-offset). This appears to be a bug in the present implementation.
> This issue exists since when selectPreceding was first introduced in version
> 1.1.0 (pre-Apache). Hence it is difficult to tell if anybody has come to rely
> on it.
