Description
Michael Savisko
This happens to me too, and it's very annoying.
I looked into this briefly, but the relevant code isn't in CDT.
- Open Declaration calls the platform API IWorkbenchPage.openEditor()
to open the target file
- The "Navigate -> Back" menu item / "Alt+Left arrow" shortcut is
also provided by the platform (the action is, as far as I can
tell, org.eclipse.ui.actions.ActionFactory.BACKWARD_HISTORY).
Therefore, it seems likely that this is a platform bug.
Sometimes, the result of the navigation isn't even "more than one file back", it's a file you haven't even navigated to recently. I can also confirm that JDT suffers from this problem, too, not just CDT. Moving to Platform UI component. Hi, I saw this as well. Thanks, Yevgeny I cannot reproduce the issue with the Java editor under normal circumstances. I have some additional questions to narrow down the problem. Does this happen in C++ editor, in Java editor or another editor? Do you have an idea of which are the steps that can reproduce the issue? For me it always happened in C++ editor. Recently I upgraded to new version of Eclipse for C++ , Neon, running on 64-bits Linux. I created a new workspace and started to work on new projects. For several days everything was Ok, but later, I assume as number of files in the projects grew, this bug suddenly revealed itself again. There are no specific steps to reproduce this bug - it's just happens at some period of time working on projects, and it doesn't happen for all files, just for some of them without any reason. (In reply to Patrik Suzzi from comment #4) > Does this happen in C++ editor, in Java editor or another editor? I've seen it in both the C++ and Java editors. I can't comment on other editors because I don't use them. > Do you have an idea of which are the steps that can reproduce the issue? Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find reliable steps to reproduce this issue. It just happens intermittently when working on large codebases. Lowering severity because: - the bug is hardly reproducible - it is not something seriously, that prevents working. Hi, I have to say this is a serious issue and it is observed on big projects. If you are investigating difficult flows and suddenly back button does not go to correct location it is very ennoying. This issue is not that rare. Try working on a big project and you will see every day at least once. This issue was opened in 2013 and still not handled. So lowering the priority and not handling is not the right direction in my opinion. Thanks, Yevgeny Perhaps a good way to make progress here would be to add some logging to the relevant navigation history code? Then, users experiencing the problem, like myself or Yevgeny, could enable that logging, and provide the logs when the problem occurs, and hopefully they can shed some light on what is going on.

Has this suggestion been considered? I am encountering this bug multiple times a day, and it is a serious annoyance. (In reply to Nathan Ridge from comment #10) > I am encountering this bug multiple times a day, and it is a serious > annoyance. Gerrit patch or reproducable test case is welcome. Jonas, can you have a look? I think we can start with a small temporary patch which lists the files via system.out to see what is going on here. Most likely dup of Bug 162939. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 162939 *** *** Bug 546113 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
