Description Peter Evers

Dragging a file into the eclipse workspace, checking copy and ok will result in the following error:

'The resource does not exist on the file system.'

I'm 100% sure the file is there. If I manually copy the file to the workspace and hit reload it works.

Platform ElementaryOS Freya.

Looks like the file name being provided has an embedded newline?

Moving to SWT as it seems a DND issue.

From the dialog it seems to be the case that a newline is added to the filename. But I have tested this with all kinds of files and not one succeeds to be added to the project.

Is this reproducible in 4.8? A lot of the DnD machinery has been re-written since 4.4.2.

Closing this ticket now. Please re-open this ticket if the issue is reproducible on 4.8 with GTK3.22.
