Description Johannes Rieken CLA 2011-08-24 06:36:29 EDT 
Build Identifier: 3.7

Eclipse crashed often (once a day) while doing something with the browser widget (e.g. hovers in the Java editor). Sometime the crash announces itself by not rendering the browser widget anymore. That means instead of content I see the framing shell but no content.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Work With Eclipse and JDT UI
2.
3.

Can you think of a specific trigger for this (eg.- hovering over something specific, pressing a key, clicking on it, etc.)?

This happens when I hover over a tooltip window in the Java Editor (although not representative because I use that by far the most).

I tried this for a while on our 10.7.1 but didn't see the problem.  Do you have any Eclipse preference values changed related to the showing of these hovers?

I don't think so. I have 'Enrich after delay' selected (of which I don't know if it's the default). Still, when 'enriching' I sometimes see a rectangle (I assume a shell) at arbitrary locations and a too big size before the enriched hover appears.

Do you still see this happen with eclipse 3.8?

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. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. 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.
