The Open Type dialog comes up with a few types in it; there is a message beneath the text entry box saying "Refreshig indices...(6%)". The number does not change, and no new types populate the box.
The new dialog uses search indices which in your scenario aren't accurate right now. When this happened, did Eclipse crash before or did you heavily rearrange your workspace. Then indecing might take a while however you should see progress. Can you preproduce the scenario where no progress on "Refreshing indices" was reported? When the dialog is refreshing the search indices it already shows the entries from the history to give you access to the last opened types. So in general is is the expected bahviour. What is not expected is that you don't see any progress on the index refreshing.
When the described event happened, Eclipse 31M7 had been running for a couple of days, with normal behavior. From the moment the described event took place, until I restarted Eclipse--a period of about 24 hours--there was no further progress in indexing whenever I attempted to use the Open Type dialog. After quitting eclipse, the javaw process continued, and I had to nuke it via the task manager (resulting in the Eclipse jvm termination dialog). Since restarting, it has behaved correctly. If I can find reproducible steps, I'll post them right away. In the meantime, I'd consider WORKSFORME to be legitimate, as long as I could reopen it later.
Jonathan, a reproducable case would be a big help here or if it happens again the stack trace of the VM that doesn't close/shotdown. From qhat you are decribing it looks like the index background thread is hanging. As a result indices aren't updated anymore and Eclipse doesn't shutdown. Setting PR to remind.
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported. Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
