Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Fw: SimRel 2019-09 RC2 crashes on Windows 10 on inline rename in the Project Explorer

Hi Dani,

This is bad news because many Eclipse users have Windows 10 and renaming files is a basic feature.

How big would be the change only to disable inline renaming instead of to revert the corresponding code changes and display the old, still existing dialog? Also the renaming of Java files inside the source folder is currently not done inline, but in a dialog.

If we deliver Eclipse with this known issue, then Windows 10 users should be warned (e.g. on the download page) that inline renaming (in the Project Explorer and in the Navigator) in many (or most?) cases causes a crash and unsaved changes will be irreversibly lost.

In 2019-09 (4.13) RC2 also hiding/showing the Git History Find Toolbar causes reproducible crashes on Windows 10.

Thanks,

Holger

Moving to Eclipse PMC.

The changes are not small and we're past RC2 and supposed to ship next week. I'm currently tending to not revert.

PMC members, please chime in.

Hi,

At least on my Windows 10 computer, the Java VM crashes (immediately or
after a delay) when using the new inline rename feature (F2) in the
Project Explorer. Changes of files that have not yet been saved will be
lost.

I've tested it on two more computers. On another Windows 7 computer with
the same Eclipse IDE and JRE it did not crash, but on another Windows 10
computer it did. The issue seems to occur on Windows 10 independent of
the CPU/GPU, of the Java VM and of the IDE package.

Therefore I suggest, as long as bug 550857 (http://eclip.se/550857) is
not fixed, to revert inline renaming in the Project Explorer (bug 548877
- http://eclip.se/548877).

Thanks,

Holger
