Bug Description

Several times, Eclipse has crashed on me. I'm not really doing anything (one time, I was just restarting it). Most times, I'm just moving the cursor around. I can't really reproduce this, but it happens several times per week (with me using it probably 40+ hours per week).

I don't know why the crash report told me to report it here, but I'm following the crash log instructions.

I will try to attach the crash log - I do not see it on this page.

Eclipse crashes on arbitrary operations, e.g. opening eclipse, rename, save, compile. I have more error logs, but can not see a pattern across them. I can send them if needed.

I have a number of logs of this, symptoms as described above - seemingly random crashes; I also had the same problem with the Sun JVM, I have some error logs from that too if it would be of any help.

It happened to me all time I start eclipse. I have tried to re-installing eclipse, from repository and from download from official web page and to change from openjdk to sun but it crash randomly.

Have the same error with eclipse. As far as I can see, it happens in some WebKITGTK stuff. in conjuction with libsoup-2.4

The trouble started after switching to 13.04. It worked all fine under 12.10. The problem can be reproduced in a Java project. In the following way.

1. Have an empty "desktop" in eclipse to avoid other parts to trigger the bug
2
. Open the Java-editor with a Java file in it
3. You may scroll around and even cut and past stuff in.
4. However, if you trigger context information by moving the mouse over elements. It is suffice to click (left mouse button) on a class or method name to trigger the effect.

I use Eclipse Juno 4.2.2
The problem can be reproduced with
- OpenJDK 6
- OpenJDK 7
