SublimeText 2 - No expand if attributes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Write li*2>a then press Tab
2. Constate it works
3. Write li*2>a[name][target="_blank"] then press Tab
4. Constate it doesn't

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect a standard
<li>
  <a name="|" target="_blank"></a>
</li>
<li>
  <a name="" target="_blank"></a>
</li>
with the cursor at the | position. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Sublime Text 2, Version 2.0 Build 2210
Zen Coding support for Sublime Text 2 version 2012.06.26.13.02.20

Please provide any additional information below.
I upgraded Sublime Text 2 yesterday, as the last version was out. Before that, 
using attributes works as I expect to. Now, it's just pushing the cursor a tab 
from where it was. 

Thank you for your consideration.

I'm getting this problem too. :( Only solution I"ve found so far is to use the 
origin key-binding. CTRL+ALT+ENTER and then typing the the selector/pattern.

Looks like it’s ST2 issue: it doesn’t poll `on_query_completions` anymore 
when character before caret is ] so ZC doesn’t even know that you’re trying 
to expand something.

As a quick workaround, try to enter something after ] character. For example: 
div[title] → div[title]s

I should kiss you, your tip works ! And will speed my dev ! Hallelujah !
Though, it's not perfect, but it's close !
I'm going to let a message on S2 board.
Thank you !

The issue also exists with things like "table+", "ul+", etc. That workaround 
doesn't work with +.

With my workspace, things like (ul>li*3>a[href])+h2+p>strong works perfectly… 
Strange…

Nothing strange here: the last character of your abbreviation (“g” in this 
example) is a valid word character so ST2 gives control to ZC plugin and it  
able to expand abbreviation. When the character before caret of expanded 
abbreviation is not a valid word character (like, +, ), ]) ST2 doesn’t send 
messages to ZC plugin.

This is making my life very difficult when coding CSS :( Has anyone found any 
workarounds for things like bg+ and others?

Should this be fixed by the zen coding people, or the sublime text people?

It should be fixed by ST2 team in order to correctly expand abbreviations by 
Tab key.

Hey guys, I'm the reluctant "maintainer" of Zen for Sublime. I don't use it much
myself so it's not a priority for me. Pull requests/ patches welcome etc.

Regardless, I just implemented a quick tentative fix for the problem serge was
mentioning.  I've implemented a binding context with `side effects` that does a
quick switcheroo on the word_separators setting, allowing <tab> to work as
desired. It restores it on a 0ms timeout.

Hacky as shit :) Lemme know if it has any hickups.

Thank you very much, it may be a hacky fix but it does work! And thus my 
workflow is back

Thanks Nicholas! I’m creating a new version of Zen Coding right now, and when 
I finish with the core, I’ll continue to develop the ST2 plugin.

Oh neat :) Is the new version multi select capable?

Closing this issue since new plugin should work fine:
