Description Wassim Melhem CLA 2002-05-07 14:34:11 EDT 
Build used: 20020425

Here is how you can reproduce the defect using org.eclipse.pde.ui/plugin.xml as 
an example:
1. On the extensions page, select the element <perspective> toward the top of 
the tree.  You will see its properties (class,icon,id,name) in the properties 
sheet below.
2. Edit the id field.  When you finish typing, leave the cursor in the field 
you just edited, i.e. do not click anywhere else on the property sheet or press 
Enter.
3. Click on the source tab.  You will get an exception saying:
    "A stack overflow error has occurred.  It is recommended to exit the 
workbench.  Subsequent errors may happen and terminate the workbench without 
warning".
   You get a huge stack trace, which expected since it is a stack overflow 
error.

Could you look at it?

Fixed by posting reselection on a gui thread. That should break the looping.
