Description Claude Knaus CLA 2001-11-16 05:41:53 EST 
I was changing the font from adobe-courier to clean.
When I pressed OK or Apply, eclipse hang in two of three cases.
In the second of the two cases, I got a java dump (segmentation violation).
In the third case, Eclipse simply just quit.

This might be an SWT problem or even a JRE bug.
This was observed on Linux (RH7, Gnome), not on W2K, build 20011114.

Note that bug#6121 may also be happening as a result of this problem.
Comment 2 Silenio Quarti CLA 2001-11-20 18:02:08 EST 
This is fixed in 2.0 stream (eclipse build 20011115).
