I think Eclipse is probably feeding GLib junk as input, so it's unsurprising that it crashes.

Can you please file this bug with Eclipse upstream? In the unlikely even that they discover it *is* a GLib but then we can reopen this.

Which version of SWT are you using? Which OS/distribution, and which version of GTK?

You know, I reported this bug two years ago. I don't even use the same operating system, and I'm unable to tell if the bug is still there.

According to the error log in the attachment, it was an Eclipse 3.8 (org.eclipse.platform_3.8_155965261) on Ubuntu 16.04, GTK 2. Bug version is also set to 3.8.1... URL above also gives a link to a Ubuntu bug report.

Since GTK 2 is no longer supported and neither is Eclipse 3.8, I'd say this bug is no longer relevant?

Correct, closing this ticket as GTK2 is no longer supported.
