(From bug 478975's review comments on https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/73419/ ; Bug 494533 is the JDT/Debug counterpart) DebugUIPlugin#getShell() has attracted wrong callers that missed that modal dialogs may be open. Fix the Javadocs to warn about this problem and advise callers to consider getting the proper shell from their context. Make a pass over all callers and fix wrong invocations like StringVariableSelectionDialog#showVariablesPage(). E.g. on Mac OS X 10.11 in full-screen mode, these steps open a dialog that is hidden behind other dialogs: Run > Debug Configurations... > select a Java Application config. > Arguments tab > click Variables... button > click Edit Variables... .

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.
