eclipse freezes with pdt

[Karel Kozlik]

Binary package hint: eclipse

Today I updated ubuntu from maverick to natty. Eclipse has been working fine before. But now when I open an PHP file an try edit it, eclipse freeze in short time and I have to kill it. It seems to me that eclipse usually (but not always) freezes when I move the cursor to a variable and occurrences of this variable should be marked.

Steps to reproduce:
-----------------------
I re-installed eclipse from the standard ubuntu repository

$ aptitude install eclipse

and then added the Galileo repository

Galileo Update Site - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/

and from the programming laguage section I selected php development tools (pdt) sdk feature

PHP Development Tools (PDT) SDK Feature 2.1.1.v20090707-1108-51584QACJCRCUeNRkNYbOJecWK9O

Then I opened a PHP file. Try to edit it, click on variable names so they are highlighted. In a short time eclipse freezes

I have the same problem. After upgrading to 11.04 eclipse freezes from time to time while working fine on 10.10 in the same configuration. I don't use the Ubuntu packaged version, but the "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" version 3.6.2 from eclipse.org.

I no longer experience this problem with Eclipse on Ubuntu 11.10.

Same for me. In 11.10 this bug does not occur any more.
