Created attachment 281254 [details] Write long workspace If start a new eclipse (or switch the workspace), the Workspace Launcher will be opened. If you want now to set manually a long path for your workspace, the windows version stuck at the beginning of the field. Means you can not see what you are tipping.
Lukas, could you provide a Gerrit for fix that?
Class to be modified would most likely be: /org.eclipse.ui.ide/src/org/eclipse/ui/internal/ide/ChooseWorkspaceDialog.java in Git repo listed here: https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/admin/projects/platform/eclipse.platform.ui

This behavior was reported to me in a downstream Eclipse product. I am not able to reproduce it on Linux. (Lukas Lieb in comment #0) > workspace, the windows version stuck at the beginning of the field. Means As I think Lukas was saying, this seems to be specific to Windows.
I took a quick look through the class suggested by Lars in comment #2. https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.platform.ui/blob/master/bundles/org.eclipse.ui.ide/src/org/eclipse/ui/internal/ide/ChooseWorkspaceDialog.java Nothing jumps out to me as controlling the caret/cursor position and scrolling of the text Combo (which is where the user types in the workspace path). My guess is that this is a bug in SWT Combo for Windows: https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.platform.swt/blob/master/bundles/org.eclipse.swt/Eclipse%20SWT/win32/org/eclipse/swt/widgets/Combo.java I'm looking through that class now and will search for existing bugs.
Maybe related? https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=31305 Looking into Windows SWT Combo, there is definitely some special handling for adjusting the selection, for example: https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.platform.swt/blob/master/bundles/org.eclipse.swt/Eclipse%20SWT/win32/org/eclipse/swt/widgets/Combo.java#L2953 I'm not currently set up for development on Windows so I can't debug this behavior.
