build 20020423 I had an old repository version of org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText.java selected and open in an editor and in the properties view. When I pressed left arrow to jump to the custom folder (and eventually up to the root) I got the attached walkback. After the internal error box I got a progress dialog (probably from the CVS plugin) which hangs when I cancel it. The hang is probably unrelated to the walkback since a different workbench is also hanging while doing a CVS operation.
Created attachment 698 [details] log file
The hang apparently happened because another error dialog popped up while the progress dialog was visible. The error dialog didn't respond to mouse clicks but pressing enter after selecting it in the task list worked and closed it.
To reproduce select a file version in the repository view and, *while* the file info is retrieved for/by the properties view, press the left arrow. This will trigger the walkback.
The property sheet is not designed to handle the case of reentry on setInput. I note that CVS is no longer using TimeoutProgressMonitorDialog so this problem wil no longer occur. Moving to later to consider if the property sheet could better handle this case perhaps by queing input changes while it is processing a change.
Reopened for investigation
Not for 2.1
There are currently no plans to work on this
