Description
Peter Larsen
Sorry, I cannot reproduce this using plain Eclipse SDK I20080207-1530. Maybe you installed a product that messes around with those preferences. If you can reproduce using plain Eclipse SDK I20080207-1530 please reopen with steps to reproduce. One detail: out of the box some keys are defined to use the default modifier and hence if you change the default you'll see it updates the key in the table below. As soon as you explicitly set the key below in the table to something different from the default it gets decoupled from the default. The modifier to be used is always the one shown in the table. Hmm, I downloaded the sdk because I wanted to follow up on another bug,
so no, this is a plain sdk, without third party plugins nor have I have
installed any profiler yet.
However, I am using the same workspace as the old eclipse I20071101-2000 (3.4.0).
I have tried with a fresh workspace and got the exact same result.
> The modifier to be used is always the one shown in the table.
So you are saying that if the key is shown to be empty, then no modifyer is
needed? So my assumtion in 4) is wrong. Then my bug is that even though I ask
for restoring to default, and is shown the keys, they are not saved (even after pressing apply).
>However, I am using the same workspace as the old eclipse I20071101-2000 >(3.4.0). Prefs are stored in the workspace. >So you are saying that if the key is shown to be empty, then no modifier is >needed? Right, but it needs to be empty in the table. The table is what counts. As said, if you still see this provide a step-by-step description. Maybe I perform the steps slightly different than you do. Also, check the .log for potential errors. You said > Prefs are stored in the workspace. and ignored: >> I have tried with a fresh workspace and got the exact same result. so I assume that using a fresh workspace is not enough to clear prefs, when I already have used an old workspace. How am I assured to have a clean prefs? >> So you are saying that if the key is shown to be empty, then no modifier is >> needed? > Right, but it needs to be empty in the table. The table is what counts. Can you clearify "it needs to be empty in the table". As I see/experiencing it should not be empty in the table - it should say ctrl. What I did was 1) tell eclipse to ask for a workspace when starting. 2) close eclipse. 3) Start eclipse. 4) Wrote an non existing path. 5) Created a java project test. 6) Created a package test 7) Created a class Test. 8) wrote package test; public class Main { private static int foo = 3; public static void main(String args) { System.out.println("Test of foo " + foo); } } 9) Saw that it hyperlinked over foo. 10) Checked hyperlinking diaglog. 11) Saw that there was no modifyer key for java element. 12) Pressed "restore Defaults" 13) Saw that the modifyer key for java element was now cltr 14) pressed apply, and ok. 15) Reopen preferences and saw the java element key was empty. > Also, check the .log for potential errors. Ok, where is the .log file? Peter >so I assume that using a fresh workspace is not enough to clear prefs, It is. I just wanted to give you that info, as I don't know how much you know. >Ok, where is the .log file? <workspace loc>/.metadata (or open the Error Log view). When I follow your steps using a freshly downloaded Eclipse SDK then I cannot reproduce. Sorry. 1. download http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/I20080212-0800/index.php 2. install to a completely new location - DO NOT reuse existing location 3. start using a new workspace location 4. check the preferences: hyperlinking for Java elements uses 'Ctrl' modifier 5. paste the code from comment 5 6. observe: hyperlinking for 'foo' needs 'Ctrl' modifier

I will try download etc. later.
>>Ok, where is the .log file?
><workspace loc>/.metadata (or open the Error Log view).
Hmm, I do not see any .log under the new workspace/.metadata (I found one under the old workspace), but if I Help->About->Configuration Details I get one. Nothing I would assume out of the ordinary. The old log had some errors from the 3.4.0M5:

In the workspace, unless of course you provide your own preferences using either eclipse.pluginCustomization property or -pluginCustomization command line option.
That's really strange. Did you really take a new workspace?
Can you post your configuration (Help > About Eclipse SDK - press 'Configuration Details')?

Ok, I meant which file, so I could track what happens on the disk. I do not think I am useing any customization plugins (and would not how too). > That's really strange.

The defaults are set in the code. Do you eventually have a special keyboard, so that the 'Ctrl' key can't be detected as modifier 1?
What happens if you press the 'Ctrl' key in the preference page? Is it detected/written as 'Ctrl'?
Just a wild guess: can you try to install something without space, e.g. c:\eclipse? > The defaults are set in the code. So eclipse will remove all prefs on disk when I restore to default? or will it write the default to the disk? > Do you eventually have a special keyboard, so > that the 'Ctrl' key can't be detected as modifier 1? Not that I know of it? Danish hp keyboard ku-0133. > What happens if you press the 'Ctrl' key in the preference page? It works. I press the java element, and then need to press the modifyer detector field and then presses Ctrl. > Is it detected/written as 'Ctrl'? Yes. A Funny thing here: If - after I change to ctrl from a blank modifyer key - I immediately press restore, apply, ok, then that key is actually remembered. But only the last key changed. > Just a wild guess: can you try to install something without space, e.g. > c:\eclipse? I will try. >So eclipse will remove all prefs on disk when I restore to default? or will >it write the default to the disk? If you change them to something other than default it will write them but that is not relevant for the steps you did in comment 8 as this is an out of the box scenario. > Just a wild guess: can you try to install something without space, e.g. > c:\eclipse? Extracted to c:\eclipse and workspace at c:\workspaceTest, no luck. >>So eclipse will remove all prefs on disk when I restore to default? or will >>it write the default to the disk? >If you change them to something other than default it will write them but that >is not relevant for the steps you did in comment 8 as this is an out of the box >scenario. I know. But say I changed some of the settings, closed eclipse, started eclipse, restored defaults, closed eclipse, would the pref on disk (I still dont know where) say ctrl or empty or would the settings have been eraesed? > would the pref on disk (I still

Yes.
Can you eventually try on a different machine or keyboard?

Hmm, was that a yes to A) ctrl B) empty C) ereased Which file is the prefs written to? > Can you eventually try on a different machine or keyboard? I tried eclipse-SDK-I20080212-0800-win32.zip on a different machine with different keyboard, and while another user (too avoid roaming settings etc.) no luck.

Forgot that I also switched from windows xp professional to a windows xp 64.
Only non-defaults are on disk. But as said not relevant for this really strange bug which we have never seen before. > Only non-defaults are on disk. But as said not relevant for

Ok, but just amuse me could you answer both question, please?

3.4M4 (Version: 3.4.0 Build id: I20071213-1700) works for me. You find the non-default values here:
<workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.editors.prefs
>3.4M4 (Version: 3.4.0 Build id: I20071213-1700) works for me.
Very interesting. Do you use the same VM and command line options? I'd really like to find out what's going on here. You could debug it if you know how to do this, or we could do a NetMeeting session if you want.
You are running on WindowsXP as indicated, right? Do you see strange behavior with other preferences? > You find the non-default values here: > <workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.editors.prefs Thank you. >> 3.4M4 (Version: 3.4.0 Build id: I20071213-1700) works for me. > Very interesting. Do you use the same VM and command line options? I would asume so. With both extracted I can change between them, using the same workspace, and M5 will show empty modifier keys for some entries. > I'd really like to find out what's going on here. > You could debug it if you know how to do > this, or we could do a NetMeeting session if you want. I have no idear of how to that. Is there a "migration" plan from M4 -> M5? E.i how could I replace M4 plugins to get M5? Is there an intergration build around january? Last nigh I installing M5 on my inspiron 9300 laptop, danish keyboard, no luck. I did not try M4 as downloading took a while. >I did not try M4 as downloading took a while. Why do you then say "3.4M4 (Version: 3.4.0 Build id: I20071213-1700) works for me." in comment 22? If you have C:\Program Files\NetMeeting\conf.exe then you can share your machine and I could remotely debug it with you. >>I did not try M4 as downloading took a while. > Why do you then say "3.4M4 (Version: 3.4.0 Build id: I20071213-1700) works for > me." in comment 22? I should have been more clear here: >> Last nigh I installing M5 on my inspiron 9300 laptop, danish keyboard, no >> luck. This is my personal laptop I tried it on after going home from work, where as the other 2 is at my work.

Not allowed at work, and I doubt you want to try that at home
with my connection.
What is the smallest set of plugins eclipse need to; start and have an pref->editors->texteditors->Hyperlinking->URL?

Ok, I am in a position where it can be done now.
Just tried a fourth machine with same behavious; this time a vista home edition (danish). OK Peter, let me know when you have time for a Netmeeting session. We can't do much from here without being able to look closer on this. Looked at this together with Peter and I think I figured it out now and it looks like being a general problem of the preference store regarding different locales which got fixed recently. Peter will verify and confirm shortly. > Peter will verify and confirm shortly.
