cmd-[ (back) and cmd-] (forward) keybindings get lost and result in typing in [ and ] instead. Going into the settings for keybindings restores the bindings for a while and then they get lost again.

I am unable to upgrade to 4.15 to see if this is fixed, because of other bugs in Eclipse that only get fixed in 4.16, if ever.

Do you have any clue in which cases the binding get lost? Do you loose the bindings in every editor or in specific ones?

As far as I know there's no specific trigger that disables the back/forward keybinding.

It is in all editors: java, html, text etc.
