When I’m typing in the WYSIWYG html editor, it regularly stops allowing deletion of text until I click the “Source” tab and then click the “Design” tab again.
I can’t cause it to happen every single time, but most of the time I can cause it to happen by editing some html then using alt-tab to switch to a different window, and then switch back to eclipse again. At that point I can continue to type, but typing delete does not work. Neither does backspace. Neither does highlighting some text and then hitting delete.
I’m using Win2k server, Eclipse 3.1.0, and MyEclipseIDE 3.8.4.
Yes, I know that it’s considered beta on eclipse 3.1, but perhaps others have had this problem in 3.0? I haven’t tried it there yet.
Are you using JDK 5.0 to run Eclipse by chance? I’ve seen a couple reports of ‘delete key stops wokring’ and ‘typing backwards’ issues when using JDK 5.0 to run Eclipse 3.0, I wonder if this problem is still occuring in Eclipse 3.1…
All, I am having this same problem in the SQL editor. It sees as thoguh any text editor is corrupted in 3.8.4.
Guys we are looking into this, but please keep in mind that you are using a BETA product ontop of a BETA platform with an UNCERTIFIED JRE, bugs are inevitable and it could be something as subtle as your locale.
Actually Riyad, I have having this problem on Eclise 3.0.1 so it is not the BETA version. I am trying re-isntalling my eclipse installation from scratch to see if that helps.
I was able to resolve my issue, by removing MyEclipse and starting over. I had updated mine via the update site initially. For some reason this caused this to occur. So essentially starting over worked for me.
