SIGSEGV in libwebkit2gtk-4.0 crashing Eclipse IDE when running Content Assist

[Thompson Lee]

When doing Java development work running on Eclipse IDE 2023-12 latest stable release version, I was able to consistently reproduce this error:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007effd21beaaf, pid=90902, tid=90903

Steps I did:

1. Start Eclipse IDE.
2. Open the project I'm working on.
3. In a Java class, trigger the Content Assist and wait for 1 second.
4. Eclipse suddenly crashes without any warning. Had to use -XX:ErrorFile=/path/to/error.log to be able to retrieve what happened.

I have attached the full error log file to this bug report.

Eclipse IDE is installed through the official Eclipse Installer, powered by Oomph. Eclipse IDE and this installer are not part of the Ubuntu packages, and instead are downloaded from the official Eclipse.org website and following their instructions.

I do not know much about Ubuntu in general, so I apologize if I can't be helpful.
