Description Taro Kyo CLA 2019-08-09 16:42:37 EDT 
Problem:

I cannot see what has been typed in the Expressions view pane when adding a new expression to evaluate during the Debugging session.

Expected:

I should see what I have typed in the Expressions view pane when manually adding a new variable to see or view the expression as I type.


Steps to reproduce:

1. Get Eclipse IDE 2019-06 Stable.
2. Get CentOS 7 or equivalent.
3. Open a new Java project.
4. Write Hello World project.
5. Set any breakpoint on any line of code.
6. Debug the application.
7. When the breakpoint has been hit, open Expressions view pane.
8. Use mouse and click on the "Add new expression" text in the view pane.
9. Observe when typing any variable identifiers, the user cannot see what has been typed in the text field.

I cannot reproduce the issue on Fedora 30.
@Eric: could it be a SWT/GTK issue?

No it's SWT, it affects X11 only and I already fixed it in bug 550606.
Comment 4 Sarika Sinha CLA 2019-09-20 02:04:20 EDT 
Do you have the "Column Layout" On ?
Comment 5 Taro Kyo CLA 2019-09-20 08:15:11 EDT 
Yes, I have the "Show Columns" enabled in the Layout submenu.

Does that option affects the UI somehow?

Looks like , as I found this old bug : Bug 301085
Comment 7 Taro Kyo CLA 2019-09-24 09:40:07 EDT 
Thanks. Since my issue is a duplicate of that issue, can someone close this and have the contributors track that bug instead?
Comment 8 Taro Kyo CLA 2019-09-24 09:40:52 EDT 
Oh wait, that's an old bug since Eclipse 3.6... :/

This is affecting Eclipse 4.13.0 (2019-09)
Comment 9 Paul Pazderski CLA 2019-09-24 09:52:51 EDT 
Somehow Eric's comment 3 got ignored. See also bug 551343.
