Description Joseph Remes CLA 2011-06-08 13:22:16 EDT 
I am migrating C projects to Indigo (RC4) and I'm finding a bug in the C Preferences. 
In Window->Preferences->C/C++->Build->Environment, it behaves badly when trying to add a new variable. I am not getting an error message. It just ignores me when I hit the OK button. It acts as if I hit the Cancel button. But not every time. Most of the time it ignores me on the first try. I go through the Add dialog a second time and it works. Sometimes it takes three or four tries before it accepts it and the variable that I wish to add shows up in the list.

CDT Build ID is  201105301135
I am running a 64-bit SE1.6 JVM
