Probably this should be a Features. But if it is so, it is one of the most annoying features I have experienced ever.

Very often if I try Copy&Paste I am overwriting a variables declaration (or of a whole class of course).

If I have the mouse hovering over a variable, the CTRL key acts sometimes like F3. Eclipse jumps to the declaration.

example:

double myValue;
double myOldValue;

public void someClass(){
   myValue = "Something";
   myOldValue = "SomethingWrong";
}

If I selected myValue copying it using CTRL+C and doubleclick then myOldValue to select and overwrite it. If I use then CTRL+V eclipse jumps to the declaration of myOldValue and is overwriting it. Looks then like this:


double myValue;
double myValue;

public void someClass(){
   myValue = "Something";
   myOldValue = "SomethingWrong";
}

But it was intended to looks like this
double myValue;
double myOldValue;

public void someClass(){
   myValue = "Something";
   myValue = "SomethingWrong";
}

I cant believe that this is feature. I didnt customize any hotkeys. The bug is annoying me since 2 years. Every new version I hoped that it is fixed. I tried to find the bug in the database, but I wasnt able to find it.

On the othere Hand I am wondering that others seem not to have this problem.
