Problems with Eclipse menus using latest SWT designer

[nph]

After installing the latest version from december 8, which by the way solved my scroll bar problem, I have encountered another peculiar problem. After several tests I have found that if I start up Eclipse and having a source active in source mode, that is I have not activated the design window yet, and trying to access an Eclipse menu I get the menu showing but I can not select anything the whole Eclipse hangs and I have to interrupt it via task manager. On the other hand it seems as if I before activating any Eclipse menu I go into the design window of swt designer and then back to the source the Eclipse menu works fine. I have observed this since the last installation and I think I have found the way to work around, but it feels as if it is some problem with the wndowbuilder.

After installing the latest version from december 8, which by the way solved my scroll bar problem, I have encountered another peculiar problem. After several tests I have found that if I start up Eclipse and having a source active in source mode, that is I have not activated the design window yet, and trying to access an Eclipse menu I get the menu showing but I can not select anything the whole Eclipse hangs and I have to interrupt it via task manager.

I was not able to reproduce this. Is there some specific sequence of events I need to follow? Do any exceptions appear in your Eclipse ".log" file?

I can recreate it in the following way:
Before closing Eclipse i have a windowbuilder java file selected in the java view I also have the source tab active.
Then closing Eclipse.
Starting it again.
When it comes up before doing anything else I try to access for example the file menu and the menu gets up but I am not able to select anything from the menu and Eclipse hangs.

If I do i this way it works:
Starting Eclipse.
Select the design tab.
Then try to access the file menu and it shows up and I can select entries from it.

The log does not say much following is the log for two sessions the first one hanged and second worked. I did it as described above.
