Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Fw: SimRel 2019-09 RC2 crashes on Windows

[Holger Voormann <eclipse@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dani,

This is bad news because many Eclipse users have Windows 10 and renaming 
files is a basic feature.

How big would be the change only to disable inline renaming instead of 
to revert the corresponding code changes and display the old, still 
existing dialog? Also the renaming of Java files inside the source 
folder is currently not done inline, but in a dialog.

If we deliver Eclipse with this known issue, then Windows 10 users 
should be warned (e.g. on the download page) that inline renaming (in 
the Project Explorer and in the Navigator) in many (or most?) cases 
causes a crash and unsaved changes will be irreversibly lost.

In 2019-09 (4.13) RC2 also hiding/showing the Git History Find Toolbar 
causes reproducible crashes on Windows 10.

Thanks,

Holger
