Description Markus KARG CLA 2004-03-11 08:45:09 EST 
Sometimes it happens that on one machine (Windows 2000 Pro, Eclipse 2.1.2, Sun 
JDK 1.4.2_03) I cannot type the { and } brackets into the Java Editor. The funny 
thing is: Any other characters work, and { and } are working fine, too, in any 
other opened java file. Very strange. In fact, I also cannot copy and paste { 
and } from another location inside of the same file, but is IS working to copy 
and paste { and } PLUS ONE BLANK!? This happens approx. every one hundred 
bracket, and really only on that machine with that file and really only with 
that two characters. Closing that file and reopending doesn't solve it. Also 
shutting down and rebooting Eclipse doesn't solve it. In fact, it works again 
directly after having copied { plus a blank from another location into my file: 
From that time, it keeps on working for a few hundred brackets... THIS IS NO 
JOKE, IT REALLY BLOCKS ME FROM CODING.

I see two possible causes for this:
1) the file has a different encoding
2) you accidentally switched the input mode

Please reopen if it is not one of the above cases and you have a repeatable
scenario.

Get rid of deprecated state.
