Description Mattias Bertilsson CLA 2019-10-22 06:28:09 EDT 
For instance, clicking the green plus and "Add new expression" text in the Expressions view table in the Debug perspective will result in nothing. You can add expressions by using the action in the toolbar and following dialog, but you don't seem to be able to edit an existing expression.

The problem is not limited to that view, it occurs in other views, including the Registers view, and probably most other tables. Oddly enough, it works in one table in the product I working on, but not others.

It seems to be a problem rendering the cell editor UI. If you type some characters and then press tab, after having clicked the cell, the characters do appear in the cell, but there is no hint that it was ever editable, and you can't see the characters as you type.

It works fine in Eclipse 4.12 on the same machine with the same GTK versions:

org.eclipse.swt.internal.gdk.backend=x11
org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.theme=Mint-X-Aqua
org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.version=3.24.1

org.osgi.framework.os.name=Linux
org.osgi.framework.os.version=5.2.18.fc29
org.osgi.framework.processor=x86-64

Should be fixed in 4.14M1.
