Description arne anka CLA 2016-02-16 11:36:44 EST
selecting a complete file in an editor with CTRL+A makes eclipse crash immediately without any errors or stacktraces logged -- just the error popup about exited with error code 1.
experienced with an XML file and an JS file in a Java Web Project opened with their respective eclipse-included editors.

Please try start your Eclipse with SWT_GTK3=0 env. variable. Please also provide your GTK 3 version / OS used. Can you reproduce the crash with default Java editor?

Thanks for reporting this, It looks like a bug related to WTP. 

We need to learn more in order to start the investigation about this crash.

Besides the interesting question from Andrey, 
I would like to have a stack trace.

You can probably find the elusive log file
- either in <workspace>/.metadata/.log 
- or in <eclipse-home>/configuration/*.log

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
