I have a set of exported preprocessor defines which I import for every C++ Project. This bug partially existed in Eclipse C/C++ 4.2 as well, but now it's completely broken in 4.3

Steps to reproduce:
Create dummy C++ project, and create preprocessor values from:
Properties --> C/C++ General --> Paths and Symbols --> Symbols Tab, create a bunch of defines and then export it as a XML file.

Recreate Project and now try to import the XML file with preprocessor defines:
1. In import modal window. Browse and select the XML file. Then hit Finish.
2. Both import modal window and parent Properties window collapse. Expect only import modal window to collapse and define from XML file to show up under symbols.
3. Reopen Properties --> C/C++ General --> Paths and Symbols --> Symbols Tab and note that no changes were made. In 4.2, despite step 2, symbols used to show up so this bug wasn't a big deal.

Now manually re-add all the defines you exported to XML file.

Let me know if further information is needed.

Thanks.
