Description Tom Hofmann CLA 2006-03-01 01:51:18 EST 
I20060228-1207

- had a project, clicked 'Replace With...' > 'Another branch or revision' in the project's context menu
- two (!) dialogs popped up over each other
  - one warning me about replacing locally changed resources (ok)
  - the second telling me that the system settings have changed and I needed to restart the workbench. No further explanation was given. This seems pretty harsh; if we really need to restart the workbench, we should explain some more! We should also explain the consequences of pressing the "No" button (don't restart).

I have no idea why I suddenly need to restart. I didn't change any system settings AFAIK, so perhaps the problems is more that an event was sent out on the SWT side of it. Please dispatch as needed.

I got the dialog after pressing Ctrl+J in a JavaEditor (background build running).

Got this several times again, even when doing something outside Eclipse and then coming back.

This is a result of Bug 129967. We should remove this feature until Bug 129967 is fixed.

Got this dialog again and pressed No. Now, the workbench window does not take input focus any more - it beeps whenever I click somewhere in the window (also in the menu area and the title bar).

I had a java editor tooltip open (focused with F2) when the dialog suddenly came up. Could be that this has caused the anomaly. I had to kill Eclipse.

Note, that it does not restart i.e. only exits if eclipse is started with your own script using javaw.exe ....

I have commented out the listener pending a fix to Bug 129967

If this restart dialog "feature" is kept in I want at least be able to disable it or get more fine grained control (which AFAIU isn't possible).

In addition you must make sure the dialog doesn't simply come: this morning when I came to work I had seven dialogs stack on top of each other (see attached picture).

Adding the dialog contents here in case anyone else tries to search Bugzilla for the exact dialog string.

Title: System Settings Change
Message: The system settings have changed. You will need to restart the
workbench to complete the change. Restart now?
