Description Leo Ufimtsev CLA 2017-11-23 15:04:25 EST 
As reported in RedHat bugzilla:
Bug 1516961 – Eclipse crash after a while of work 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1516961

There's an unguarded x11 call that's reached by wayland, which leads to a crash.

Probably when user does a drag and drop of text.

TextTransfer.java ... gdk_x11_display_utf8_to_compound_text(..)

We should investigate how to replace that with a call that doesn't use x11.

If anyone knows a way to reproduce in a stable way. (some DnD operation?), it would help to have the steps listed.

http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.swt.git/commit/?id=fa50d3f2eca0386f99312210ce0d759d45631ef4 should fix the issue.
Compound text is dead nowadays so clients under wayland should not claim support for it. Please reopen if one can still hits it with tomorrow's and any other build after that.
