Instance Member markup/selection - annoying behaviour in eclipse 3.1 [message #103172]

Hello @ all,
I don't know why and it's not happening allways but eclipse sometimes
shows a very weird and annoying behaviour. When I create an instance
member of a java class the member name is selected/marked after a
pausing little time in writing. When I continue with typing the name is
overwritten. This only happens sometimes and I don't know how to switch
it off. Any help on how to switch this behaviour off is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Tim

That's probably the mark occurrence feature which marks all occurrence
of the same member in the file.

What exactly do you mean here? The name is overwritten?

Simple click the yellow marker button in the tool bar.

Yes the name is overwritten... Maybe I described it not in a clear way...
When I type in for example "public void setABC" and pause a little in
typing the setABC is selected. If I continue with typing in the method
signature the selection is overwritten.

OK - that's definitely not the mark occurrence feature (it only marks
the instance but does affect the selection). Please file a bug report
with steps to reproduce.

Well thats a problem... It's not very easy to reproduce... It only
happens sometimes after some time working with eclipse. As if eclipse
gets into an inconsistent state. But I will try to reproduce it and file
the bug as soon as I can find a way to reproduce it.

Thanks and Greets

Maybe you should also check your keybord, mouse and/or touchpad. It could
be, that some text/code will be selected while you are typing, because of
some hardware defects.

Hi Przemyslaw,
then I would expect this "behaviour" in other applications as well. For
example in OpenOffice or Thunderbird. But it is limited only to eclipse.
Everything else works fine. And it only occurs sometimes as I stated
before. Currently everything works fine but in the next ten minutes or 2
hours this "behaviour" may be "switched on" again.
