Hi everyone,

I know there's some bug 'n fix procedure, but as I don't have a clue about where that is, I post it here. It's a quite adventurous bug I report !

Open two files in the main editor, with the same name from different directory.
Now make changes in them both. Don't save 'em.
Try to switch between windows and panes, and play with copy/paste.

Isn't it fabulous to see a paste happening in an unchosen editor pane ? Or in a frame without focus ?

Well, that might be a classic "files mixed up in a cash"... because of the similarity in their names... But as you might have experienced it, I could do it only once. I must have missed one of my clicks while copy/pasting, tracing is a hard job.

A bon entendeur !

Eclipse is a great tool.
Thanks.
Edouard

PS : I'm using Eclipse Mars (eclipse-jee-mars-2-win32-x86_64) with a few modelling plugins.

What, exactly, do you mean by "the main editor"?

Well, I mean the basic first big framed pane where you write text...

Bugs with reproducible steps should be entered at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/ - but be aware that Mars is no longer the actively developed version so you should try to reproduce it in Neon first.
