Description Wouter Lieffijn CLA 2018-05-17 04:46:01 EDT 
Consider the following comment:

// String -> Object

When pressing CTRL and hovering over the types in this comment, Eclipse tries to show a popup with 'Open Declaration' etc. Often however the GUI will freeze for several minutes, with no possible interaction whatsoever.

Hope this helps you. Thanks for all the effort you put in Eclipse.

I tried with http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.7.3a-201803300640/ in my big workspace and also with the following code snippet:

package test;

public class Test {

	// String -> Object

}

Even after many attempts I never got the delay.


If you still see this using http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.7.3a-201803300640/ or newer then please try to provide steps to reproduce it and then reopen this bug report again.
