HEAD

- have this class:

public class Try {
//    public void m(Object o) {}
}
class Sub extends Try {
    /**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     */
    public void m(Object o) {}
}

- put caret on commented Try#m(Object)
- point the mouse at inheritDoc
- press and hold Ctrl
- quickly press and release Shift and C. While still holding Ctrl, move the mouse a bit.


=> NPE:

Some questions in life bother me everyday:
1) What was man doing when he discovered cows can be milked?
2) What was Markus doing when he discovered this bug?

Comment 2 Eclipse Genie CLA 2019-11-15 06:50:22 EST
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
