Description Colargol

Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

I have following bug within Eclipse Helios:

When I click a class method in the Outline view, then the source code of the class in the Java Editor, the history view then crashes with the now very well known "No more handles" error.

This only occurs when:

1) The history view is shown
2) When I click a method, not the class itself, in the Outline view

Here is the stacktrace of the exception:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2010-11-23 08:40:25.984

My setup: Windows XP Pro x64 Edition



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Team History View, if not already open
2. Open the Outline View, if not already open
3. Open any Java class
4. Click any method of the Java class in the Outline view
5. Move the focus to the Java editor

-> Error occurs. Every time. Even if these were the first actions taken after having opened Eclipse.

I have read, that certain users had this problem ("No more handles") because of a bug with their NVidia Quadro graphic adapter, which is also the graphic card I use, so I updated the driver to the latest one. This didn't solve the problem.

I tried hard to reproduce this using our Kepler release candidate:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/S-4.3RC4-201306052000/
but no "luck".

Please reopen, if you can provide more detailed steps using 4.3 RC4 or newer.
