Build Identifier: Build id: M20100211-1343 I noticed that I can't use Help (Help->Help Contents) when e.g. "Import" (as Import Project) window is opened. I guess just the main Eclipse window from which Help was opened should be disabled but not the Help window itself. eclipse-platform-3.5.2-3.2.el6.i686 Actual results: You can't scroll/interact Help until Import is finished. Expected results: Help window accessible all the time. Additional info: (Could be caused by move from jetty -> jetty-eclipse? I guess not.) Downstream bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=589241 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create project 2. Open Help 3. File -> Import...
Michal's comments about the RPM version and the jetty dependency can be ignored. He's only concerned with the modality of the windows.
I was able to reproduce this on Linux. Eclipse on Windows does not have this problem because it launches the browser on a separate thread, I'm not sure why Linux does not also use a separate thread for the browser. I will investigate more.
Its not only with import wizard. If any wizards or dialogs are kept opened then help window will not respond till we closes all these wizards and dialogs.
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. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
