Bug 61841 SWTError: Cannot set data in clipboard
Reported: 2004-05-11 22:17:50 | Status: resolved fixed

I200405111600 I've seen this before so it's not new in this build. I selected 3 or 4 lines and pressed Control-X (cut) and got a dialog that said "A SWT error has occurred. You are recommended to exit the workbench". The same thing happens if I press Control-C (copy). The text does get into the clipboard but is sometimes not cut from the original source file (Java code). (Note: I saw bugzilla entries with similar but not quite the same traceback so this may or may not be a dup.) Windows XP SP1, JDK1.4.2_04.
