Screen shot showing garbled dbcs characters

Using the Eclipse default text editor in Photon v4.8, 
 org.eclipse.ui.editors (3.11.100.v20180512-1137)

The editor does not always correctly display DBCS characters. 


If using the same default text editor with Neon 4.6
 org.eclipse.ui.editors (3.10.1.v20161106-1856)

The DBCS characters are correctly displayed

Does the problem still occur in the latest released version, Eclipse 2021-06 (v4.20)?
Comment 2 Candice Lane CLA 2021-07-22 12:24:41 EDT 
Sorry, but we ship our products with certain levels of Eclipse. 
Our v14.2 level ships with Eclipse v4.6(Neon), and in the latest level of the 
UI plugin it is at: 
org.eclipse.ui.editors (3.10.1.v20161106-1856)
And, this level works. 


However, in our v15.0.2 level we ship with Eclipse v4.8 (photon). 
If I look at the org.eclipse.ui.editor plugin that is shipped it is at

3.11.100.v20180512-1137
And, this fails. 

I don't know what Eclipse v4.2 you are referring to...is that a plugin, or a feature?  
Is the org.eclipse.ui.editor plugin at a different version?

When you release a product based on Eclipse, I assume that you know what Eclipse releases are: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release

Eclipse Neon was released in 2016, Eclipse Photon was released in 2018, Eclipse 2021-06 is only a month old. I don't know which editors version is shipped with 2021-06, but you can check that yourself. Also, the latest Eclipse versions contain two Text editors, the old one, and a new 'Generic Text editor'.

Eclipse is open source, and only releases new version, there is no support on older version. If you want support on older version, you should do that yourself, or pay somebody (or a company) to do that support for you.
