While working with several projects open, the description field in the Problem view is cleared after switching from one project to another. The problem appeared in 3.1 M6 (or M5 I don't recall exactly) and is present in all builds including 3.1 RC3. Cleaning the project causes the description to appear. Steps to reproduce on 3.1 RC3. Open two projects with warnings generated by the default compiler settings (e.g. log4j). Switch between them (everything looks ok). Restart eclipse. Switch again between projects. Description field disappears. Version Eclipse 3.1 M6 - RC3 (linux-gtk and windows, Sun JDK 1.5.03 and IBM JDK 1.4.2 SR1)

I verified this problem in 3.1RC4. For my installation it happens on all warning & error descriptions. My problem view filter is set to "on selected resource and it's children", which seems to make the problem worse. When I switch to another package or class in the package explorer all content of the description column gets lost instantly. The content of all other columns stays the same. Everytime I (re)compile (e. g. using CTRL-S after changing the source) the whole content of the description column reappears.
Cleaning the projects (project->clean...) and rebuilding them solved the problem, in my case. I think it's related to migrating from 3.0.2 to 3.1. It's better if someone with more bugzilla privileges will mark this bug as a duplicate of #83992. I think they're the same. Amit.
Just tried to setup a new workspace directory. The problem appears when problem filtering is enabled (e.g show ... "on any resource in same project" or "on selected resource and its childred") and switch between projects or directories (in the case of the second filter). It seems that the description is lost when the list is updated as a result of the filter.
