Build Identifier: Version: Indigo Service Release 2 Build id: 20120216-1857 Periodically copy/cut operations do not work. I cannot reproduce this 100% of time but the bigger the file, the higher probability of failure. If I repeat shift-up, command-x, command-v in file with 2700 lines then on 3-5 cycle there is high chance that line won't be cut. This never happened in file with 10 lines. What I noticed after trying to reliably reproduce this for awhile: If I paste line and then select it back and quickly click 'Edit' menu, Copy and Cut menu items might be grey for a few moments. Don't know if it is related. Sometimes it might fail even after second attempt. i.e. I select line, copy it, paste at different location, but previous content of clipboard is pasted. Then I press undo, select line again, again press copy, and again previous content of clipboard is pasted. I'm working on mac mini with 2Ghz Core 2 duo and 4 gb ram. Mac OS X 10.7.3 with all updates. This happened in the previous version, but much rarely. Eclipse restart do not affect this. I tried to close all other apps, but it didn't help at all. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open big C++ file in cdt editor. With semantic syntax highlighting enabled. 2. Select some line. 3. Try cut&paste it repeatedly.
I have the same problem from time to time. Looks like it might be the same as Bug 76106.
Bug 70077 and Bug 200743 seem to be similar. I already wrote a comment there (bug 200743, comment 69). PLEASE fix this bug - it really breaks copying because it is more efficient to cut and wait for eclipse to render and then re-paste than to copy+paste unsuccessfully several times in a row.
Might this be a problem caused by input handling itself? I have the impression that Ctrl+C is not the only keyboard shortcut with this problem.
I'm having problems with key-bindings repeatedly stopping working in 4.2 Kepler SR1 also, with my preferred bindings (Rename in File, Search Write References). I've even found Ctrl-Left, Ctrl-Right word left/right & Ctrl-1 "quick fix" to stop working, after a while.. though 'plain' arrow keys & typing continued to work. There's something badly broken in platform I think.
Are you having any progress on this bug? It makes working with Eclipse on Mac very painful.

(In reply to Stefan Holmer from comment #5) > Are you having any progress on this bug? It makes working with Eclipse on > Mac very painful. I did some investigation part of Bug 414446 and it was a pretty difficult issue to debug for me for a few reasons. I was able to reproduce the problem fairly reliably with the Firefox source code. Unfortunately, I could not reproduce it when launching from the Eclipse SDK, only when using the Eclipse C/C++ EPP which is pretty strange. So I had to attach the Remote Java debugger to debug. On top of that, having 2 Eclipse running and the Firefox code in the workspace is just too much for my poor 2007 MBP so I have to borrow someone else's. Anyway, I do really want to see this fixed so I'll try to look into it sometime in the next couple of weeks.
OS: MacOSX 10.9.2 JDK: 6 or 7 or 8 Currently using : Kepler SR 2 I am an MacOSX , Eclipse user for year, I am affected by this bug as well. It is more than 'sometimes'.
