Description Boris Shingarov

I was using RC1, and F5 in the sync repo view was working then stopped working 
in *outer* Eclipse (that is, it definitely was not the result of a code 
change).  Completely removing the workspace and starting a fresh one, did not 
help.  Getting a fresh Eclipse install, however, did fix it.  JML has 
experienced something similar and we both think this is very suspicious.

Is this still happening?

I have not seen this again, but two times the editor stopped responding to 
some keys but not others.  It's rare, I've only seen it two days ago (in RC2) 
and today (in RC3a).  Arrows would work but not printable characters, nor 
Enter.  Restarting Eclipse rectified the problem.

Although this is still an issue happening it doesn't sound like a Team problem 
so I'm closing the bug. However, if it continues to happen fairly frequently 
for you, we should consider reopening and investigating.

I'm not going to reopen this but it seems that there is a related problem in 
bug 34884. If you encounter further problems, please add comments to bug 34884.
