[platform-swt-dev] Text using SWT.MULTI style causes eclipse to crash on

[Ravi Shankar <ravis_bea@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I am using the release version of eclipse 3.6 helios.

 

I have the following configuration of linux:

bash-3.2$ uname -a && cat /etc/*release
Linux dadvml0178 2.6.18-164.0.0.0.1.el5xen #1 SMP Wed Sep 2 22:48:20 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Carthage)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)

 

If i create 2 SWT Text controls using the SWT.MULTI style, i see that eclipse crashes silently without any log messages (in the .log file or under the eclipse folder) after a while.

 

new Text(composite, SWT.MULTI | SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL |SWT.WRAP);

 

I don't have this problem on the following configuration:

bash-3.00$ uname -a && cat /etc/*release
Linux dadvml0046 2.6.9-89.0.0.0.1.ELxenU #1 SMP Tue May 19 04:48:26 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (October Update 8)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8)

 

Please let me know if this is a known issue or suggest a workaround for this issue. I have plenty of code which uses SWT.MULTI and i don't want to change that code.

 

thanks

-Ravi
