Suddenly in the middle of typing something the cursor stops and all the characters cosequently typed appear while pushing others to the right of the cursor. To get correct output one must type words backwards. I have this problem every 2-3 hours of work. It happens on 3M8, 3.0, 3.0.1 and 3.1 -- I've tried all of these. It does not depend on the project or on the plugins -- For instiance it just happened with a clean 3.0.1 with no custom plugins at all. The only way out is to close eclipse and restart. The following is the last error in the log. Would be happy to make the entire log available. !ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 Nov 11, 2004 16:43:37.362 !MESSAGE java.lang.NullPointerException !STACK 0 java.lang.NullPointerException at

Please attach the full .log. You write it in the summary but just to confirm you are using the Java editor to edit a *.java file, right? Did you eventually install some other plug-ins that might now be used to open *.java files? >The only way out is to close eclipse and restart. If you open another file (also try opening a simple text file with the text editor) it writes backwards as well? If so, do error get written to .log again in this case? Do you have other languages installed? E.g. if you have bidi-language installed this might happen. Normally under Windows when there's more than one language installed there's a key board shortcut that activates (or switches) languages. These shortcuts override all application shortcuts.
Bug 42868 and bug 43852 describe a similar problem.
Created attachment 15843 [details] Contains the full log of the session. This is the full log are requested.
>You write it in the summary but just to confirm you are using the Java editor to >edit a *.java file, right? Did you eventually install some other plug-ins that >might now be used to open *.java files? Yes, I've seen this happen only in the .java editor. I installed no plug-ins. I was able to reproduce this using 3M8, 3.0, 3.0.1 and 3.1M3 'clean' versions directly from eclipse.org with no modifications or addons. >Do you have other languages installed? E.g. if you have bidi-language installed >this might happen. Normally under Windows when there's more than one language >installed there's a key board shortcut that activates (or switches) languages. >These shortcuts override all application shortcuts. Yes, I have Cyrillic language turned on as an option under XP. I never use it with eclipse, but I just tried it and it causes no problems -- when I switch using the keyboard combo (alt-shift) it works as expected -- cyrillic letters appear in the editor. Switch back works ok, the cursor works as expected and no errors get added to the log.
>I was able to reproduce this using... Can you give the steps?
>>I was able to reproduce this using... >Can you give the steps? There are no special steps. It just happens when I normally type in the editor. Since your last comment, I uninstalled the other language (so now only US English is installed in XP), but it does not help. I still get the problem.
It would be great if you could provide more information e.g. does it happen on some special file or are you adding at a similar position in the file when it happens? Did you install some tools that might get activated on a certain key sequence?
>It would be great if you could provide more information e.g. does it happen on >some special file or are you adding at a similar position in the file when it >happens? Did you install some tools that might get activated on a certain key >sequence? It happens on various files and in unrelated file positions. There are no special tools installed -- default eclipse install. Nothing gets activated on keystrokes -- I even disabled all languages leaving only English.

Get rid of deprecated state.
