Description Bryan Hunt

2011-04-16 23:24:08 EDT

I'm using Eclipse 3.7M7 Cocoal and I've started seeing occasional problem in the IDE when invoking a command that opens a dialog.  The stack shows NPE being thrown by Shell.createHandle().  It seems fairly easy to reproduce once it happens, but I have not found a reliable way to initially reproduce the problem.  Right now, I can sometimes reproduce it by moving classes to new packages.

I believe this is a dup of bug#338975. Because the shells were leaked, we were not able to create new owns.
