Description
Alfonso Parra
Sending to SWT - any idea what could be causing this, or how Alfonso can help us understand what's happening? I tried to take some screen shots to document the bug: "Here you can see two classes with no errors", "I am going to delete this line", etc., but when I did it, nothing happened, no pasting whatsoever. The bug just disapeared. I assume, but have no proof that the bug has something to do with the clipboard and the screen shots interfered somehow. Now everything is back to normal and the bug is acting as described. If I can help in anyway, please let me know. Alfonso Version: 3.4.2 Build id: M20090211-1700 Redhat Linux I believe this is what I am seeing. The paste buffer will occasionally randomly be inserted into (somewhat) random places in the file being edited. Sometimes if there is just one occurrence of the insertion and I delete the inserted text, upon a 'save' the same text will appear further down in the file. Repeated <ctrl>z will remove the text (as well as anything I added before noticing it). *Sometimes* the text will be unrelated to anything I am editing, including random text that seems to be part of a Thunderbird email message!?!? This *may* be reproduced by (1) copy some text, (2) highlight some other text, (3) <ctrl>v to replace the selected text with the copied text. (4) Save (4) Wait a while or do other things. Random insertion(s) may occur. I wonder whether this is due to bug#153809. Can you please try with the latest version of Eclipse, or does the problem go away if you disable Klipper/Glipper on your Linux machine ? As to comment #4 from Praveen: The bug has not being removed from Helios Eclipse. I am using Centos 4.8 and I do not know how to deactivate Gliper if present in that Centos The bug is more bothersome that harmful, except in the cases in which the pasting occurs on places where it makes sense for the compiler, so it is not marked as an error, in those cases it is very difficult to find what went wrong with the program. I don't think this API makes sense for StyledText. To restore the editor we would need to save the text the styles the selection the bounds the horizontal/vertical scroll offset the font the foreground/background other line attributes (alignment, justify, wrap, indent, wrapIndent) bidi segments etc closing as won't fix. on a side note, I tested setTopPixel() and it worked fine, please report a bug if you have case where it fails. my appologies, obviously I post the comment in the wrong bug report. please ignore it. I cannot reproduce this on GTK3.22, 4.8 M7, and Fedora 28. |
