Description Klaus Heinzelmann CLA 2015-09-01 08:30:41 EDT

F instead of E is shown

The syntax highlighting or formatting  often transforms
capital "E"s into "F"s all other characters are not affected.
However "F"s stay "F"s. So it is hard to see if this is a real typo or if
eclipse just shows an odd behavior.

For example a code snippet that should read as 

void Buffer_Number_Sequencer::setLowestCountMarginMsgSnpEngine(uint32 margin_lo){
	mLowestCountMarginMsgSnpEngine = margin_lo;
}

is seen as
void Buffer_Number_Sequencer::setLowestCountMarginMsgSnpFngine(uint32 margin_lo){
	mLowestCountMarginMsgSnpEngine = margin_lo;
}

Other characters are not affected. This behavior was present also on the predecessor  versions of LUNA.

Attached a screenshot.

Moving to SWT.  Could you please provide more detail about your platform (e.g., distribution and version), and what font you're using?

Comment 4 Sravan Kumar Lakkimsetti CLA 2015-09-02 00:51:29 EDT
Please provide us the OS version and distribution using the command uname -a

and also gtk version available using 
rpm -qa|grep gtk
Comment 5 Klaus Heinzelmann CLA 2015-09-02 04:19:36 EDT
The Linux host where eclipse is running is accessed via a Windows7  application called Exceed on Demand (Version 13.8.3.521) this is an application similar to xmx or vnc-viewer. The problem described in this issue only occurs on eclipse
but no other Linux application so I don't attribute it to Exceed on Demand.

Do you still reproduce this issue with Eclipse 4.9 ?

No reply in awhile, closing this ticket now. Please reopen if the bug is reproducible on 4.10 and a modern GTK3 (3.20+).
