Build Identifier: 20110615-0604 Using keyboard shortcuts, Copy/Paste may be unreliable -- e.g. after pressing Cmd-C, for example, clipboard buffer contents won't be modified. The problem occurred on Helios, but seems to be happening much more on Indigo. I've found that the solution described in http://www.technologicalwanderings.co.uk/node/77 seems to alleviate the issue. Reproducible: Sometimes
Alex, it would help a lot if you can find of sequence of actions to reproduce this. From the referred page (http://www.technologicalwanderings.co.uk/node/77): "Anyway, I found a fix. Open Eclipse's main preferences. Go to General->Keys. Search the key bindings for 'Copy'. Erase the key binding (which will show "Cmd C"). Cmd C now works. Perhaps Eclipse and MacOS were both trying to capture the keypress and neither got it correctly."
Oleg, there's really no sequence to reproduce this. One time it'd work, the other it won't. With Helios I was under the impression it was related to uptime, but with Indigo it happened to me immediately upon restart. It *seems* to happen more on the very large (2000+ lines) files -- and I have scalability mode turned off, but I can't be sure if it happens *only* on the large files.
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.
