Description Jonah Graham CLA 2022-03-10 20:23:55 EST 
As reported here for the Eclipse Embedded CDT project - https://github.com/eclipse-embed-cdt/eclipse-plugins/discussions/511#discussioncomment-2328640

The Table Renderings Preferences seem to default to "Automatic" on Windows and "Manual" on Linux. This should default to the same thing. 

This can be reproduced with Platform Debug alone by using the "Sample Memory Launch Type" in the debug examples plugin.

Turns out this is by design to work around a known issue - see Bug 74559.

The relevant code is:

		if (MemoryViewUtil.isLinuxGTK()) {
			prefs.setDefault(IDebugPreferenceConstants.PREF_DYNAMIC_LOAD_MEM, false);
		}
		else {
			prefs.setDefault(IDebugPreferenceConstants.PREF_DYNAMIC_LOAD_MEM, true);
		}
