[platform-swt-dev] Crashes on linux gtk

[Gurmeen Bindra <gurmeen.bindra@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am seeing Null Pointer exceptions causing my applications using SWT to 
crash for 4.3 to 4.5 versions of SWT linux gtk 64 bit (ubuntu 16.04 gnome).
This happens in instances when I try to dispose widgets or getClipboard 
types.

java.lang.NullPointerException

Anyone has any idea on how to fix this ?

I note that there is a bug open for this but no updates.
