Build Identifier: 20100617-1415 When SSHing to Linux from Mac and running eclipse, the "paste" action in the common navigator is never enabled after copying something. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a mac, ssh -Y to a Linux machine 2. Run eclipse, open any view based on the common navigator 3. Copy a file in the navigator 4. There's no way to paste now; the "Paste" action is grayed out. I'm not sure if this is specific to platform resources or if it's generally true of copy and paste actions in the navigator.
Ping... has anyone looked at this?
Can you see if this is also an issue with the Package Explorer? If so, then it might be better to have the SWT folks start with this.
It is not an issue with the package explorer, only common navigator-based views.
Is there any chance this will get fixed in 3.7? We have received complaints from several of our users about this.

This looks like an SWT problem. I was able to duplicate the problem using your steps. I find that the Navigator and Project Explorer behave identically (no paste menu enabled), and that while the Paste menu is enabled in the Package Explorer, when you try to do the Paste you get an error. This is because the logic of the PasteAction in the Package Explorer does not do the same type of checking to see that something is on the clipboard before the paste. I looked into it further comparing the copy/paste behavior running on Linux alone with that running through the Mac and the difference is the Clipboard is returning that there is nothing on it when running through the Mac. I can see in both cases the resource is properly added to the clipboard. So this seems to be an SWT issue with the Clipboard handling when running through the Mac. Sorry it took so long for me to look into it (and that it's being transfered to SWT so late in the cycle).
My testing of this was done on 3.7M6.
This is still a problem, and it's not isolated to Eclipse on Mac OS. I'm on Windows 7 and I observe the same behavior; the details of my installation are as follows: Eclipse for PHP Developers Version: Neon Milestone 2 (4.6.0M2) Build id: 20151001-1406 What's curious about it is that the greyed-out "Paste" option applies only to certain remote SSH hosts. Initially, I thought that the problem may occur only when I try to copy resources across hosts that are on *different subnets* (and separated by a one-way firewall configuration), but now I'm seeing the problem with two hosts on the same subnet. Why is Paste greyed-out for certain destination hosts???
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. As such, we're closing this bug. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. 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.
