-------------------------------------------------------------------
Furthermore WebKit is crashing my Luna. This started as soon as I installed the
google-talk plugin into my google-chrome. Luna (and Kepler) froze and crashed as soon as
I:
1) triggered autocomplete in a Java code editor (see [^luna-crashing-on-outcomplete.ogv]
freezing at 0:24 and crashing)
2) tried to switch the browser in the Eclipse preferences (pick "Web Browser" in
Eclipse preferences and boom!)
Our guys working on fixing SWT/GTK3 have a patch that should help here. Their approach is
to have webkit running in a separate process. In a birds perspective this sounds to me as
if this should help not crashing the IDE but not sure if this helps for webkit crashing.

Fixing SWT issues in Luna
-------------------------
Key: JBIDE-16290
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16290
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: target-platform
Reporter: Mickael Istria
Assignee: Snjezana Peco
Fix For: 4.2.x
Attachments: luna-crashing-on-outcomplete.ogv
This ticket is meant to list the bugs related to GTK3 affecting JBDS:
* JBIDE-16280 VPE/XulRunner crashes workbench
*
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=420581
* Central tests uses SWT_GTK3=0 in its pom.
*
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=421127
We should make sure all SWT issues we met are reported upstream and that we provide the
necessary assistance to SWT developers to make sure everything will be stable for
Luna/GA.
On Linux, most issues can be "hidden" by setting SWT_GTK3=0, but that's
definitely not something we want to rely on for JBDS, as SWT over GTK2 will not be
maintained in future.
