Screenshot showing the initial enabled state

Since quite a few years ago I noticed this bug in Eclipse JDT which at least affects the Windows versions but possible also other versions. On a fresh installation, when one launches, the debugging buttons (Resume, Suspend etc.) are enabled on the toolbar. These buttions are usually grayed out unless a debugging session is in progress. And indeed, the buttons don't work as expected: If one clicks them, a dialogue saying ""The chosen operation is not enabled." and the buttons in question (not just the one clicked) are then disabled, reflecting the correct state. So it seems that at some internal level the initial state is correctly set (since it knows the operation is not enabled) but that this is not properly reflected at the UI level, initially.
