Description Peter Soetens CLA 2011-01-13 06:32:08 EST 
Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

A regression in the editor (compared to previous major release). Take any C/C++ file, for example:

void foo(void) { }

void bar(void) { foo(); }

And go with the mouse on the last 'foo'. Press Ctrl -> the 'foo' is not underlined, nor can you navigate to foo. Keep Ctrl pressed, but now move away from foo and back to foo -> the 'foo' is now underlined and you can click on it.

Very annoying since I had the habit of first hoovering over the statement, and then pressing Ctrl. Which results in a no-op.

Peter

Reproducible: Always

I think you are seeing bug 326418. Can you try a a 7.0.2 build and see if that works for you?

Comment 2 Peter Soetens CLA 2011-01-14 05:39:20 EST 
I checked out the 7.0.2 build and the behavior is still there. It appears to me now that I probably saw bug 326418 (the slowdown) in combination with this:

When you hoover over an C++ identifier, hold the mouse still and then press Ctrl, nothing will happen, until you slightly move the mouse over that identifier, then it becomes a hyperlink. So the hyperlink is only triggered by mouse movements, and not by the actual position when Ctrl is pressed.

So maybe this is a feature request instead... ?

detectHyperlinks is only called on mouseMove in JFace, this is how it behaves in JDT too. So, Ithis bug/enhancement should probably be changed to Platform, UI. I think the reasoning is that if your press Ctrl to do copy/paste for example, you don't want the hyperlink detection to delay that.
