21 <h4>Eclipse plug-in based on the SWT Browser throws exception</h4> |
|
22 <p>The SWT Browser widget uses a platform-specific web browser to render HTML. |
|
23 The org.eclipse.swt.SWTError exception ("No more handles") is thrown |
|
24 on platforms that don't meet the requirements for running the Browser widget. |
|
25 Supported platforms and prerequisites are listed on the SWT FAQ item |
|
26 <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/platform-swt-home/faq.html#browserplatforms"> |

29 <h4>Crash when using the file dialog on Windows XP with SP2</h4> |
|
30 <p>With some versions of Synergy from Telelogic, Eclipse will crash when you try to open a file |
|
31 dialog. This is due to a problem with the CMExplorer.dll. The workaround is to |
|
32 upgrade to Synergy 6.4 (or higher) or to run <code>"regsvr32 /u CMExplorer.dll"</code> and |
|
33 reboot (note that this will disable Active CM). |

36 <h4>InternetExplorer sometimes freezes on PDF documents with Acrobat Reader 6.</h4> |
|
37 <p>With Acrobat Reader 6 or 7, some users have experienced an unresponsive user |
|
38 interface for up to two minutes when closing a browser which is displaying a PDF document. |
|
39 The workaround is to disable displaying PDF in the browser. In Adobe Reader |
|
40 select Edit > Preferences... > Internet and uncheck 'Display PDF in browser'. |

43 <h4>Crash while editing text on Windows XP with SP2.</h4> |
|
44 <p>Some users who have installed Service Pack 2 on Windows XP have experienced |
|
45 crashes while using editors in Eclipse. The workaround is to place a working version |
|
46 of Windows\System32\USP10.DLL in the Eclipse startup directory or uninstall |
|
47 Service Pack 2. |

50 <h4>Input Method broken on Motif</h4> |
|
51 <p>Some versions of RedHat Linux such as Fedora Core 3 and Enterprise Linux WS |
|
52 release 4 use a new technology called IIIM (Intranet/Internet Input Method |
|
53 Framework) to replace the old XIM (X input method). When running on these |
|
54 new systems, Eclipse will crash if you attempt to enter any DBCS character. The |
|
55 workaround is to use a XIM based input method such as chinput. This problem |
|
56 may be fixed in newer releases of RedHat. |

59 <h4>Eclipse does not start on Linux-Motif with Xinerama and a UTF-8 locale</h4> |
|
60 <p>The Linux-motif build of Eclipse does not launch properly when run on a |
|
61 computer with Xinerama (provides support for dual head monitors) and a UTF-8 |
|
62 locale. The workaround for this problem is to change the locale to a non-UTF-8 |
|
63 value, or to disable Xinerama. |

67 <h4>Eclipse crashes on RedHat Linux 9 with Bluecurve (GTK+ only)</h4> |
|
68 <p>Users of the Bluecurve theme shipped with RedHat Linux 9 may experience problems running Eclipse. |
|
69 These problems may include crashes or reduced performance. We recommend changing to a different theme. |

75 <h4>Eclipse hangs when pasting from an unresponsive application (GTK only)</h4> |
|
76 <p>If the application that is supplying the clipboard material is unresponsive, |
|
77 the paste operation hangs Eclipse for several minutes. This situation can be |
|
78 encountered when copying from an Eclipse target workbench, suspending the target |
|
79 workbench at a breakpoint and pasting into the hosting Eclipse workbench. |

82 <h4> Unable to drag data between |
|
83 applications in simplified Chinese locale (Motif only)</h4> |
|
84 <p>When configured for the simplified Chinese locale, it is not possible to |
|
85 drag data between applications running on the Motif window system. This is a |
|
86 known limitation of the Open Motif library. |

|
89 <h4> Crash when attempting to |
|
90 launch file browser (AIX Motif only)</h4> |
|
91 <p>There is a known AIX graphics bug affecting certain levels of AIX |
|
92 releases. Ensure that the AIX install includes the necessary service updates as |
|
93 described in the "Install notes/requirements for Eclipse on AIX" |
|
94 attachment to the Eclipse bug report. |

|
97 <h4> Available colors on 8-bit Linux (Linux only)</h4> |
|
98 <p>Typically, in Gnome Linux installs running with 8-bit visuals (i.e. 256 |
|
99 color mode), before the Eclipse application is started there are no free colors. |
|
100 This may mean that Eclipse is unable to allocate the default widget background |
|
101 color, causing it to display a white background. The functionality, however, is |
|
102 otherwise unaffected.</p> |
|
103 |
|
104 <h4> List and ComboBox on Windows |
|
105 NT (Windows NT only)</h4> |
|
106 <p>On Windows NT only, you should avoid creating items in a <code>List</code> |
|
107 or <code>ComboBox</code> with strings longer than 1000 characters. Doing so may |
|
108 result in a General Protection Fault. This has been fixed in more recent |
|
109 versions of Windows.</p> |
|
110 |
|
111 <h4> Excessive CPU consumption (Linux GTK only)</h4> |
|
112 <p>When using Linux GTK 2.2.1, there are some scenarios where the CPU usage |
|
113 goes to 100% for no good reason. When this occurs, resizing or closing the |
|
114 dialog seems to return the CPU usage to normal. |
|

|
116 |
|
117 <h4>IME-related crash (Linux Motif only)</h4> |
|
118 <p>When using Linux Motif and GB18030 IME "chinput", Eclipse can |
|
119 crash if the IME client window is left open when the parent window is disposed. |
|

|
122 <h4> Using IBM J9 VM (Photon and AIX)</h4> |
|
123 <p>On QNX Photon and IBM AIX, the SWT library will not be found when running |
|
124 with an IBM J9 1.5 VM. This is a bug in the IBM J9 class library in version 1.5. |
|
125 You can workaround this problem by adding the SWT library directory to your |
|
126 LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.</p> |
|
127 |
|
128 <h4> Missing permissions for SWT native libraries in workspace (HP-UX only)</h4> |
|
129 <p>When retrieving the SWT Motif fragment into an Eclipse workspace, the |
|
130 permissions of the native libraries are reset. This creates a problem on HP-UX |
|
131 because shared libraries need to have execute permission. Attempting to |
|
132 self-host with this fragment throws an UnsatisfiedLinkError...Permission Denied |
|
133 error. You must manually change the permissions to make these libraries |
|
134 accessible (assume the workspace is at <code>/workspace</code>):</p> |
|
135 <blockquote> |
|
136 <blockquote> |
|
137 <p><code>cd /workspace/org.eclipse.swt.motif/os/hpux/PA_RISC<br> |
|
138 chmod 555 *.sl</code></p> |
