Eclipse: completion popup-window disappearing about awesome HOT 9 CLOSED

Thank you for that detailed report! Since this works with awesome 3.4, have you considered bisecting it to track it down?

from awesome.

If you bisect between 3.4 and 3.5, you have to use the default rc.lua. There was many breaking config changes in the last 6 years since the 3.4 and 3.5 branches diverged.

I used the appropriate default rc.lua which comes with each version of awesome.

Update: no eclipse-bug in qtile (0.9.1) anymore. again eclipse-bug in qtile 0.9.1 (The problem was temporarily gone in the qtile-windows-manager 0.9.1. Maybe volatile.)

from awesome.

I have the same behaviour using:
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.5) (Arch Linux build 7.u79_2.5.5-1-x86_64)
awesome v3.5.6 (For Those About To Rock)
Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2)

If I give focus to another window and then back to eclipse tooltips and content assist are shown as expected. After focusing it via mouse click it works once as expected, then all following uses the pop up does directly vanish on mouseover.
I tried removing the sloppy focus section from rc.lua, but have not seen a change in the eclipse behaviour.

Hi @andreas1724! Have you tried newer versions of Awesome WM?

So far, I couldn't reproduce with Awesome Git master from yesterday and a vanilla config.

awesome v3.5.2-2163-gb2e0e55 (The Fox)
 • Compiled against Lua 5.3.3 (running with Lua 5.3)
 • D-Bus support: ✔
 • execinfo support: ✔
 • RandR 1.5 support: ✔
 • LGI version: 0.9.1

Here's a video of me trying to reproduce the bug. Let me know if there's anything else I should try in it.

EDIT: Using Eclipse-java from Arch repos v4.6.1-1 on OpenJDK 8.u112-1.

This issue has been fixed in Eclipse, see the comment in the linked issue over at i3.

Thanks for the information. Upstream issue is here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=466114

This appears to be back again in 2020-03 and 2020-06 on ubuntu 18.04. As described above if the mouse is used to select the content assist value the cursor will not appear. As a Hack solution for my own content assist I added the following to computeCompletionProposal and the issue was fixed.

final StyledText textWidget = viewer.getTextWidget();    	
	viewer.addTextListener(new ITextListener() {
		@Override
		public void textChanged(TextEvent event) {					
			textWidget.setCaret(textWidget.getCaret());
			viewer.removeTextListener(this);
		}
	});

This should provide a clue based on what gets modified when setCaret is called.

This issue happens with Eclipse 2023-03(4.27.0) Build id: 20230309-1520, in Ubuntu 22.0.4.1 (Jammy Jellyfish).

Issue Description: Content-assist pop-up windows (for ex., when hover over an error pointer - see samples attached) disappear when trying to click on them. Therefore, it becomes impossible to apply quick-fixes that are suggested as links, in the content-assist pop-ups (or) even to understand the error by reading the entire pop-up message.

Sample-2:

Note: Not sure if this helps, but this is marked as fixed here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=466114.
