Comment 40 for bug 1223181

This used to be incredibly annoying, to the point of making debugging unusable, until I discovered a simple workaround. The crash almost always happens when you move the mouse into the left edge of the variables view. Where you have to go to expand or compress tree nodes in the variable display. Moving the mouse into this area is extremely dangerous, I was averaging about one crash for every 4 times I tried to expand a variable node.

Then, I discovered you could expand or unexpand variable nodes by double clicking the node in the center of the variable view. Since I no longer have to move into the dangerous left edge of the variable view, eclipse has been almost problem free.

This isn't a perfect answer. The crash still does happen at seemingly random when I move the mouse in the Java perspective. But this only happens once every couple weeks. I can live with that.
