Problem with '%' as first character in a template
Reported by Fjan | November 25th, 2008 @ 12:31 PM | in 2.x
If the first character in an ERB template file is a '%' the first sentence no longer gets recognized as inline Ruby in Rails 2.2.2 (in Rails 2.1.2 it was correctly interpreted).
My guess is that Rails prepends something to a template file so that Erb no longer recognizes the first character as the first character. Adding a newline before it, or changing the line to the <% %> form fixes it. So the bug only appears when Erb is configured to recognize % as the first character with: config.action_view.erb_trim_mode = "-%"
I have many templates starting with: % @title = "...", as is not uncommon, and this was a very hard bug to find. so it would be great if this could get fixed.

This sounds like an ERB issue, and maybe just the expected behaviour. You could try changing erb_trim_mode.
