Can not reproduce.
Do you have JVM crash logs (files  hs_err_pid*.log)?

Unfortunately eclipse doesn't show stack, in *.log file also don't any information about this error.
I downloaded source of WB, and run an eclipse aplication, when I try a several times refreshing a form, editor become frozen. I must terminate editor from primary eclipse, but there aren't any massage.
Comment 3 Konstantin Scheglov CLA 2011-07-08 09:30:10 EDT 
Create thread stack trace.
For example on Windows run Eclipse as:
eclipsec -clean -data workspace -vmargs -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m > threads.log

and when it become frozen, press Ctrl+Break (IIRC kill -1 in Linux).
Then attach this log file.

Log file is empty. I suspect that, the problem may not occurs on every operating systems. I'm using Ubuntu x64 
(Linux PC31 2.6.35-28-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 18:42:20 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux).

For Linux, run Eclipse from the console and when it hangs execute 'kill -3 <eclipse_pid>' command, you'll get the Java threads dump.

Eclipse thread dump.

Hi, I'm attaching thread dump. I ran eclipse with command:
eclipse -clean -data ~/temp/workspace -vmargs -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m > threads.log

After designer have stalled I sent SIGQUIT (3) to eclipse process. 

NOTE: Eclipse does not crash, main menu and most of other functionality works. Only designer editor hangs. (and probably some other features, e.g. I can not open "Error Log" view).
Comment 7 Alexander Mitin CLA 2011-07-14 06:40:57 EDT 
@Michal, 
Try to activate 'Disable preview window flickering workarounds' option in WindowBuilder preferences.
