Created attachment 284078 [details] log files It's impossible to edit one, particular .cpp file in Eclipse, because it displays "Notifying selection listeners" pop-up after every single letter entered. This happens in eclipse 2020-06, but it used to happen in 2020-03 as well. I'm attaching full logs. Oh, this might be related to the fact the file had some invalid cpp syntax in there, as I was in a middle of ome major refactorings, etc. Anyway after I fixed the syntax in some external editor, the issue stopped to re-occurring. But IMHO it is still unacceptable for editor to bail out, only because it cannot properly parse a file. If some internal error occurs, then it should stop analyzing the syntax in the file instead of displaying tons of useless pop-ups, especially that a user can do nothing about them.
Robert, Thank you for your report. I agree that it is not working properly that you are getting constant pop-ups. The root cause is indeed some type of failure to parse, and indeed a failure to parse a single file should not be a catastrophic failure. We have three bugs this year along the same lines of pop-ups getting in the way. I will use this bug to track the usability, those other bugs can track the specific failures to parse. I have put a call out on cdt-dev to see if I can get a better understanding of why this is happening - and to understand if we can actually recover from a stack-overflow error gracefully.
This bug certainly still exists. But there are no resources forthcoming from the CDT community to fix this particular issue at the moment.
