Debug buttons in KDE [message #457826]

Running eclipse 3.1 under KDE (3.2.3), I've noticed that the "Step Over",
"Step Into", etc buttons in the Debug view don't quite work properly. If I
click the button once, it works, but then if I immediately try to click it
again, nothing happens. I need to remove the mouse pointer from the button
and then reenter it in order to be able to click on it. This is quite
frustrating when I am trying to step through some code.

Strangely enough, it doesn't seem to happen with other buttons on the
screen. For example, I can press the "Run" button repeatedly without any
trouble.

Any ideas what is going on here?

This is because of a really old bug in GTK+ (which has actually become
worse in more recent versions of GTK+):

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56070

Since it makes debugging annoying with GTK+ 2.6, a fix was put in for
eclipse 3.1RC1:

http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=82169

Are you seeing this problem with 3.1RC1 or newer? If so, can you file
a new bug about it against Platform > SWT?

Thanks,
-Billy

You're right. It's fixed in RC3. I forgot I had dropped back to an earlier
version (due to the debugger often telling me "source not found" for code
in the workspace).
