Oxygen editor missing underscore [message #1751268]

This is a duplicate because I cannot find my original post.
I cannot have underscore anywhere in Oxygen editor.
Such as
#define TEST_TEST
will show up as
#define TEST TEST - space instead of underscore between TEST
and my code will not compile.

I have been told to submit a bug report which I did.
I have been told that Oxygen is not officially released until June 2017. (?)

Could anybody please set me starlight on this?

Thanks for your time.

Thank you! I haven't managed to find the bug in bugzilla, could you kindly share the bug number here. However in my searches I decided to include resolved bugs and I found https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=506885 and https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=498384 which both indicate that the problem is with the font and not Eclipse (they were marked invalid). Comment #4 indicated that resetting the font works: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=506885#c4

That is correct, Oxygen (aka Eclipse 4.7 including CDT 9.3) is the current, fairly stable, but unreleased version of Eclipse. I, and I am sure the rest of the community, really appreciate the early adopters who live on the bleeding edge. However if you need to downgrade, I recommend using the Neon (aka Eclipse 4.6.2 with CDT 9.2), which is the latest released version of Eclipse. Let me know if you need help finding exactly what you need.

If you have been confused by the names of releases, you are not alone: https://kichwacoders.com/2016/04/28/why-its-time-to-kill-the-eclipse-release-namesneon-oxygen-etc/

Thanks for reply.
I guess I'll submit another bug report, no problem.
Apparently the bug report did not indicate the underscore issue.
Since this is my first exposure to Eclipse I was not really sure when I had a bug or just user error. I still have difficulty adding new code to compiled working code and little concerned how it is all going to pan out when I do real debugging.
In the meantime I'll "down shift".

Addendum
I did attempt to post bug report , but I am getting "anonymous cannot post tasks" in red . After I fill out next dialog the red error message goes black, I can pus Send but get no response.
I do not know if the bug was posted , but I got screen shot of major part of it on file.

So it looks as Oxygen bug report is also buggy.

Hi Vaclav,

There is an anti-spam measure on the bug reporting: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform you cannot send anonymous bug reports.

However, I wouldn't bother creating a new bug report, I have reopened https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=506885. Instead, I would add yourself to the CC list of that bug if you want notifications.

Thanks for your persistence on this issue.

Jonah,
I am not sure where my last reply went.
I have activated Eclipse Neon and successfully imported ONE application from the original Oxygen workspace.
I have a small issue I could use some help.
When I do the import - my original programs are identified as "fuse .. " something.
After the program is imported it compiles etc. but still is identified in Project Explorer as "debug fuse hidden ..."
I suppose I can rename it, no problem.
What I need - some way to correlate the "fuse.." with project name so I can select "New configure etc. "
The workspace fieles are in alphabetical order (in file view app) , so how are the "fuse.." arranged?
I am reluctant to delete projects I do not want to import, but that is an option.

Addendum:
I have implemented this hack to go from Oxygen to Neon:

Copy Oxgen default " workspace" directory . I have renamed it "workspace _NEON"
In Eclipse - Neon switch from original " workspace" to "workspace_NEON".
That restarts new instance of Ecipse_NEON than required project can be selected.
Clumsy , but it works.

Bad and good news
NEON.2 has a similar problem with underscore.
It does not show in editor pane / window, but it compiles.
I am enclosing some screen shots to document this in NEON.
Sorry

Accoring to the bug report https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=506885 that I previously mentioned, this issue is in all versions of CDT from Mars forwards. The workaround is to change your font.

Whoops.
I guess correct version of Eclipse should be named "Pluto" .
I understand that developers are free to name / version their product the way they like, but the product objective is to help programming and fancy names really do not help much .

Appreciate your help.
As a new user I do not know how long ago this was "discovered" and frankly would not expect users to Google for it .
Somehow makes me wonder how such common usage of underscore in C language did not bother anybody sooner.
Cheers - case closed ?

Currently having this issue with latest Oxygen on Ubuntu MATE 16.04

Was working fine on Neon. I used the eclipse-installer to install Oxygen.

I tried suggestions such as setting to default system font (Ubuntu) as well as the Eclipse default which was monospace.

Same issue no matter what I do.

I tried creating a net new workspace as well.

Any thoughts?
