Eclipse hang when copying / pasting code


I have a big problem. Eclipse is hanging up when I do any copy/paste with Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V keys.

Is it due to the Eclipse validation code system?

Do I mess something in my Eclipse setting?

Here is my conf :

  • Eclipse 3.4.2
  • Plugin RSE
  • Windows XP pro Service Pack 2
  • Java VM version = 1.5.0_11-b03

Solution

  • Disabling Hyperlinking fixed this for me. You could also just change the Default modifier key to something other than CTRL if you still want to use hyperlinking.

    Go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Hyperlinking and either uncheck Enable on demand hyperlink style navigation or change Default modifier key.
