Bug 125656 Eclipse freezes dismissing popup windows (Quick Fix, Spell Check, etc)
Reported: 2006-01-29 18:36:33 | Status: resolved fixed

I'm a CS professor and have been programming and teaching Java since it came out. But I've always used BBEDIT+ javac for my development on MAC & UNIX. Now I'm learning about Eclipse with simple examples like "Hello world" but I find often that Eclipse stops responding and I have to use the FINDER "FORCE QUIT". I'm using Eclipse 3.1 and Mac OSX 10.4.4. What more can I say. Mainly it occurs when I'm editing source code. Today I've been doing JUNIT Tutorials. So I download examples off the Internet and do cut and paste of code from the browser window. Wish I could be more helpful but my code examples are quite simple and generally they work but then the application stops responding.... and it's the only application of the many I use that does this. So I'll go back to BBEDIT and javac.
