Re: [eclipse-dev] Planning Meeting Notes - June 1, 2011

Platform UI:
- We have investigated the intermittent JFace test failures on the
Mac. The underlying problem is that SetData events now happen later
than they used to, triggered by updating the test machine to a more
recent version of Snow Leopard. It is no longer the case that you can
spin the event loop to make sure all visible items are materialized.
We believe that the only code that relies on this is in our test
suite. We also haven't seen any bugs coming in related to recent
versions of Snow Leopard and virtual trees. Nevertheless, it would be
good if everybody could be on the lookout for strange behaviour in
virtual trees (e.g. in the Debug views) on Mac OS X 10.6.7. A proper
fix for this would involve changes to the way the SWT event loop
works, which is way too risky at this point, especially considering
that we haven't seen any effects outside of our test suite. We have
temporarily disabled the failing JFace tests. See also:
