Description Prakash CLA 2005-05-18 17:56:08 EDT
Hello,

I'am facing some issues with Eclipse 3.0.2 in regards to mouse events. Whenever 
I try to click on any perspective of Eclipse the rest of the perspectives (or 
sections) of the screen are becoming in active. In other words, If I 
click "Java browsing" section, my mouse click is not working for the rest of 
the sections. I would have to click another application before enabling the 
other sections of Eclipse. But once I do that, the rest doesn't work....so 
between every move of mouse....I've been forced to click other app before 
clicking Eclipse....Any ideas what the problem is.. I've tried uninstalling (4 
times various versions) shutting the systems...re-installed JDK etc.

Thanks,

I've never seen this before.  Does it really happen on every mouse click?  Can 
you provide an exact set of steps for us to try here?

Moving to UI for comment.
Comment 2 Michael Van Meekeren CLA 2005-05-19 17:15:17 EDT
I'm reducing the severity until we find out if this is repeatable etc..
Comment 3 Steve Northover CLA 2005-05-20 11:05:14 EDT
Since this doesn't happen for us, the only way to debug this is remotely.  Can 
you find out when it stopped working?  For example, does 3.0.1 work and 3.0.2 
fail?  Also, does M7 fail?
Comment 4 Prakash CLA 2005-05-20 12:53:57 EDT
I've been using Eclipse for the last 4 months on a project without any 
problems. However, yesterday, when I brought up the IDE, I've noticed this 
strange patterns and ever since I wasn't able to work with Eclipse. The pattern 
goes like this....

Once the IDE comes up, I see the "Java" perspective divided into 4 sections 
including Package explorer, Java edit section, outline & problems/console/tasks 
etc. So, if I click my mouse icon on any of these sections, I am not able to 
use the mouse to click any other sections unless do an Alt-Tab and click some 
other application and then get back to Eclipse. But this time, I can only use 
the section, I've recently touched not any other sections....so I need to do an 
Alt-tab once again...and this continues...so basically, I can't use the IDE. I 
know it may sound strange...I've been using Eclipse for the last 3 yrs and 
never had problems....I've tried all the regular drill without success and 
spent most of yesterday trying to troubleshoot. Any help is greatly 
appreciated. I can also be reached at 602-523-1822

Thank you

Does a clean install of 3.0.2 fix the problem?
Comment 7 Prakash CLA 2005-05-20 14:14:44 EDT
The problem has been resolved when I did a clean install and used 3.1.0 insted 
of the latest version. 


Comment 8 Steve Northover CLA 2005-05-20 16:39:03 EDT
Does installing a clean 3.0.2 fix it?
Comment 9 Prakash CLA 2005-05-20 16:51:16 EDT
No.This problem has been resolved by installing "eclipse-SDK-3.1M7-win32.zip". 
The problem still persist in the version "eclipse-SDK-3.0.2-win32.zip".

Thank you!
Comment 10 Steve Northover CLA 2005-05-20 17:35:02 EDT
Darn.  MVM, do you want to follow up more?
Comment 11 Michael Van Meekeren CLA 2005-05-22 11:47:55 EDT
I think we need something we can reproduce on 3.0.2 in case we want to try and
fix this in the 3.0 stream.

Are the any exceptions in your workspace/.metadata/.log file?
Comment 12 Prakash CLA 2005-05-23 12:34:47 EDT
I do not see any exceptions or logs for the reported issue. All Iknow is I 
still have this problem with 3.0.2, but when I install 3.1M7 the issue seem to 
disappear.

Thanks,
Comment 13 Steve Northover CLA 2005-05-24 11:50:51 EDT
Since no one else is seeing this, I suggest we close it as WORKSFORME and 
reopen again if the problem happens in M7 or 3.1.
Comment 14 Chantal Roth CLA 2005-09-02 17:39:25 EDT
Hi,
I have the exact same problem with Eclipse 3.1.0 (on Windows 2000, using either
jdk 1.4.2 or 1.5).

Is there any workaround or is there a version that does not have this problem?
(I have been using 3.0 without any issues, but I would like to use a newer
version if possible).

Thanks,
Chantal
Comment 15 Prakash CLA 2005-09-02 17:42:26 EDT
I'd this problem solved after I installed 3.1M7 of eclipse.Hope it will solve 
the problem 

Thanks,

Great! Do you happen to have the url for it? I also tried the newer version
3.2M1, and it still had the problem in it :-(

Thanks,
Chantal

Comment 18 Chantal Roth CLA 2005-09-03 17:02:44 EDT
Thanks for the link!
Unfortunately, the problem did not go away :-(.

I guess I'll have to use version 3.02 until someone finds a workaround or fixes
the problem. 

Do you have an idea what this problem could be related to?
It looks like it's not the java version. I wonder if it's related to Windows
somehow? Maybe some driver? I also tried different mice, and it made no
difference. Or maybe there is some setting that could make the problem disapper?

Thanks,
Chantal

Is this still an issue in 3.2?

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.

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