When opening some dialogs Eclipse automatically preselects some field for entering data, and enters there some default value or description. However, this preselected text overwrites the pre-existing X-selection... This happens for instance with the Resource rename dialog. Steps to reproduce: - Doubleclick some text in a console (konsole) to select it (verify that it has been selected by pasting it with a middle-mouse-button click in the console for instance) - switch to eclipse, select a file in the project explorer and press F2 to rename it - the Rename Resource dialog opens, with the current filename entered as initial value for "New name:" - press the "del" key to remove the preselected text and paste the X-selection with a middle-mouse-button click: the name of the file to be renamed is pasted again. Expected result: the originally selected text in the console is pasted Running Eclipse 3.6 (C++ Yoxos package) on Linux/KDE 4.4.5, Debian Squeeze.
Correction to "Steps to reproduce:", last item: the X-selection contains the filename of the to be renamed file (as you can check in klipper or by pasting into a console) but nothing is pasted back in the Eclipse rename dialog.
Might be related to the bug 240257.
Platform=PC Linux QT is that correct ?
Hi, well in my case it is clearly Platform="PC Linux QT", but I can't say if the same problem happens on a pure "Linux GTK" environment for instance. As i said in the original report, my system is KDE/QT based; however i use the gtk-qt-engine (version 1:1.1+svn5-4+b1the on Debian) theme engine package for GTK. So Eclipse uses SWT uses GTK uses QT... ;-) As Oleg mentioned above it might be related to Bug #240257, if that was an SWT-GTK bug then it would probably explain both reports. Thanks, Ariel
On Linux the most common SWT port is GTK. We also have a motif port for Linux (for testing only), and there is also a qt port from the comunity (which is not distribute from eclpse.org). What is the name of the file you download ?
Sorry for my mess up! yes of course it is the GTK based package, i didn't even know that there was now a QT port available somewhere. I was confused by the "linux QT" platform menu entry and the fact that i run it on my KDE desktop. Concretely, i tested with the Yoxos 5 distribution, C++ configuration profile, but a colleague of mine tested with some EPP package, same results.
Is this bug still relevant?
(In reply to Alexander Kurtakov from comment #7) > Is this bug still relevant? No response, closing this ticket. Please reopen it if the issue persists on GTK3.22 with 4.8.
