Build Identifier: 20110615-0604 When doing a copy and paste operation, Eclipse grabs all of the available heap and hangs. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a file in the editor. 2. Highlight some text. 3. Ctrl-C to copy the text. 4. Observe memory usage in jconsole go out the roof.

By 'editor' I mean editing some code in eclipse. The default editor. I've turned off auto-completion, as I saw some references (old ones) to problems with that. It made no difference. I can highlight as little as three or four bytes, do Ctrl-C, and the heap usage just goes berserk. The only way out of this is to kill eclipse: JVM terminated.

Please attach a thread dump to this bug when Eclipse is hung. http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/How_to_report_a_deadlock Does the problem only occur for Python files?

yes, it appears to be pydev related. I opened an existing java project, and experienced no problems with copy and paste.
After the last crash, eclipse would not start at all. The splash screen was displayed, and the progress bar made it about 80%, then hung loading the workbench. I was able to restart by deleting the .metadata directory. I'm in the process of installing the plugins I need now.

Narrowing it down a little further, neither highlighting text nor doing Ctrl-C on highlighted text cause the problem. Heap memory usage spikes when Ctrl-V is used to actually paste the copied text.
Please open a bug with the developers of PyDev. PyDev is not hosted here at Eclipse.org.
