I20130219-1600 + a bunch of junk I'm running into a situation where paste ends up pasting in the editor that had last focus. At this point I have not been able to reproduce it consistently on a fresh workspace but I've been able to get in this state multiple times during the day. Here is what is happening: - Open 3 editors on different files (for me those are java files). Let's called them A B and C - Place your cursor in various position in the editors. - Now go to an editor A, highlight text, Ctrl+C - Select the tab of editor B, then select the tab of editor C - Paste using Ctrl+V, the content is pasted in editor B whereas it is expected to be pasted in C.
It is not only pasting, it is for several key-bindings. I realized this also happens for CTRL+D (very bad as lines in another editor gets deleted), DELETE (while Backspace is working, or the other way), CTRL+S ...
Are you in multi-tab mode or single tab mode? And you are switching only using tabs. PW
What is a multi-tab mode? Never heard of that before regarding eclipse editors. :) I use Eclipse the way it opens by default. All editors in the same part stack. Sometimes I switch using the tabs, sometimes using the key-binding CTRL+F6
I could in history get into such a state by have 2 Java-Files opened. -----------8<----------- MyClassA { MyClassB b; void test() { b.unkownMethod(); } } MyClassB { } -----------8<----------- If I used then the quick-fix to create the unknown method in MyClassB and afterwards started typing there the key-strokes went to the wrong file - but I could not reproduce this anymore with the latest build and the simplified test case from above.

As opposed to single-tab mode (or unibrow mode :-) where the editor area only shows on tab at a time. > > Sometimes I switch using the tabs, sometimes using the key-binding CTRL+F6 Thanks PW

That was bug 394517, fixed in 4.3M5a PW
Pascal, just tried the short version of the scenario and can't seem to reproduce it, are you still seeing this lately ?
I have not seen this recently.
Working with Kepler M6 I still have this issue. Looking into the log files I found this exception everytime shortly before the context issue occurs: !MESSAGE Exception while dispatching event org.osgi.service.event.Event [topic=org/eclipse/e4/ui/model/ui/ElementContainer/selectedElement/SET] to handler org.eclipse.e4.ui.services.internal.events.UIEventHandler@17ca3ed !STACK 0 java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Object cannot be cast to org.eclipse.e4.core.commands.EHandlerService at org.eclipse.ui.internal.menus.MenuHelper$1.evaluate(MenuHelper.java:240) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.ContributionsAnalyzer.isVisible(ContributionsAnalyzer.java:248) So it seems to be related to 398925, while having a different effect.
I am on 4.4 release and am getting hit by this a *lot*. Typically i have two Eclpise editors open, split screen side by side. When I want to copy some text from one into the other the text ends up in the wrong editor. The cursor is in the correct editor and typing goes to the right editor, but pasting doesn't. It normally goes to the editor where I copied the text from.
Forgot to mention, I'm on Mac OSX. Not sure if that's important.
I have this problem with SR1 as well on OSx. I have an extra window open, with a split pane. Sometimes the paste goes to another file in the same "split panel", sometimes it goes to the file in the other split panel.
This pretty much randomly destroys files as it is not just for paste - files may be corrupted in the background and you may inadvertently press the key to save it. Raised to critical.
Yeah, it's very annoying and in my case a real productivity killer as it really happens a lot and as Henrik says I sometimes inadvertently corrupt other files. Another thing that I noticed is that it also happens with the code-completion popup window. So I might be typing some text, hit CTRL-SPACE and the code-completion window appears in the wrong pane.
BTW I am also seeing this problem on the latest Eclipse 4.4.1
I have the same problem with 4.4.1.
Me too. This is really bad.
Ulrich, Thomas - what are your operating systems? Does it happen in a specific circumstances? Are there any exceptions in log file (<WORKSPACE>/.metadata/.log)?
(In reply to Wojciech Sudol from comment #18) > Ulrich, Thomas - what are your operating systems? I was on a Mac OS/X 10.9 when this happened. I don't see it on my Linux box. I'll check the logs next time and get back to you.
This happened to me a lot of times! I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5, Eclipse Juno version 4.2.2.M20130204-1200 This is a quite annoying problem as you may overwrite existing files without knowing. Some keyboard shortcuts do not work like (CTRL + SPACE). When I hit COMMAND + V, it pastes the content in the wrong tab even when the focus is on another tab.

This is really annoying issue. It happens to be in Mac OS X 10.10. Version: 4.2.2 Build id: M20130204-1200 The issue as as below. The issue happens regardless of whether Macbook Pro's display holds primary and the additional display has the 1. Lets say eclipse is running in Display 1 with a file open. I am working on ErLang project for the time being. 2. I open another file in a new tab. 3. Drag that tab to other display. 4. The file in that tab is opened in a new window in the same display. Note the issue as its not being opened as window in the other display where I dragged and dropped. This is ok, not the main issue. 5. Then I drag and drop the window to the other display from the one where eclipse IDE is running. 6. Now I start editing the file in the new window in secondary display. 7. I copy and paste some text in the secondary display. Copy and paste done using keyboard shortcuts. Both operations done in same display. The issues are as below. 1. Both copy and paste does not work in the secondary window. Copy operation does not copy selected text to clipboard. Paste operation pastes what was last in the clipboard before copy was done in selected window, in to the tab in IDE of primary display. 2. If focus was not in any tab, then copy/paste does nothing even in primary display. Copy/paste works fine if done using mouse.
I just noticed that even the undo/redo is not working.
(In reply to Suresh Kumar R from comment #22) > Version: 4.2.2 Could you verify if these problems still occur in Eclipse 4.4.1?
This is still a problem in: Version: Luna Service Release 1 (4.4.1) Build id: 20140925-1800 I'm using Windows 7 x64. Happens somewhat frequently for me. Same observables. I copy some text and try to paste, nothing happens. Paste again, nothing happens. Then discover that Eclipse pasted the text in a previously open editor. For me, it seems like it be related to moving editors between Eclipse windows and/or cloning.
Happens in 64-bit Linux as well: Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers Version: Luna Service Release 1a (4.4.1) Build id: 20150109-0600 Same observables, was copy/pasting and nothing was happening in the active editor. I decide to exit Eclipse, and it warns me me that file Y has unsaved changes. Hmmm...that's odd. I switch to that editor and there are the 100 pastes I tried to make.
Oh, one other thing I noticed that in addition to pastes showing up in the wrong file, the find dialog was also broke. I brought it up, pasted in a method name (paste worked) and hit find. No results, despite the string showing up multiple times. I'm guessing it was searching in the editor it was mysteriously pasting into.
I think this issue is likely related to: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=385278
More detailed steps would help to investigate and solve this issue.
I also have the same problems. It starts happen when i opened Eclipse on two monitors. With one monitor i have never notice such problems. OS Ubuntu 14.04 Luna Service Release 1a (4.4.1)

Yes, i have Eclipse opened on two displays. Sometimes i drag files from the editor on one display to the editor on another display.
Created attachment 253896 [details] Replication example I can reproduce this with two windows (on the same screen). OS: OS X 10.10.3 Version: Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2) Build id: 20150219-0600 1) Create 2 new windows (Window -> New Window) 2) Open a file in each (different files) 3) Drag a tab from one window to the other 4) Paste text into the tab you just dragged The text will appear not at the active cursor, but in the last tab selected in the window before the new one was dragged in.

This is bug 445305.
I have this happening with split editors inside a single window (so I don't need to do Window -> New Window). I created these split editors by simply dragging the tab of an editor for a certain file to the side of the editor so that it shows a split line in the center and then dropping the tab.

Dani and others, such a behavior could very well be caused by bug 468048 because the active part is not changing appropriately upon activation so to me it sounds like it is pasting to the wrong Active-Part!
Still happening in: Version: Mars Release Candidate 2 (4.5.0RC2) Build id: 20150528-0540
It might be me, but I have not seen this happen with the Mars release anymore. So whomever did something that fixed it, good job!
Has anybody seen this occur with 4.5.1? I wonder if the fix for bug 468048 may have solved the issue here.
So far so good.
Marking as WORKSFORME and we'll re-open if it recurs.
I have just seen this on Windows 10 but after a restart it worked again. This has been observed on Windows 10: - Detach an Editor on a second monitor - Select a non-detached editor - Mark text and copy is via Ctrl+C - Paste it via CTRL+V -> Pasted text is pasted into the detached editor
