Redraw not worked

Hello! I try to use Activity Designer on my PC and have a problem that eclipse cannot redraw screen on my actions. The story is the same on Indigo and Kepler. Hack is to press "close eclipse" then cancel, but i need to do design blind. That makes plugin unusable on my PC. It's a eclipse problem or

We've never heard from such an issue unfortunately. It is for sure not a 'know issue' … that would be bad.

So my guess it's eclipse / system related. Any chance you can test it on another system?

Hey, I'm having the same issue on an up-to-date openSUSE 13.1 (both on GNOME and iceWM), but it works fine on Ubuntu 12.04 (unity).
Both are using the same kepler 64bit package.

So it smells like it's a faulty Linux package somewhere?
Not very familiar with those distro's … is there any common link between them?

Tested it on an up-to-date x86_64 Archlinux, with and without the GTK3 flag on, it locks up.
I also tested an Indigo install on the openSUSE, no dice.

@jbarrez
I thought maybe a random patch that openSUSE applied somewhere on the gtk/graphic stack could be at fault, but I don't think the folks at Archlinux mess with upstream source at all (except for the kernel).

Just in case, the three machines I've tested have Intel graphics.

I tested it here on an Ubuntu box (not up to date - 1 version behind) and it worked fine :s
I honestly don't know what could causing it

Got hold of a somewhat-updated openSUSE 12.3 x86_64 install, tested the same kepler package (I'm just scping the directory around), and it works fine… So I guess something happened upstream?
Here are the (I'm-guessing-relevant) package versions:

openSUSE 13.1 (locks-up)
<code>xorg-x11-driver-video-7.6_1-11.1.2.x86_64
xorg-x11-7.6_1-11.3.1.noarchh
java-1_7_0-openjdk-1.7.0.6-24.9.1.x86_64
libgtk-2_0-0-2.24.22-2.1.x86_64</code>

Archlinux (locks-up)
<code>gtk2 2.24.22-1
xorg-server 1.15.0-5
jre7-openjdk 7.u51_2.4.4-1
xf86-video-intel 2.99.907-2</code>

openSUSE 12.3 (works)
<code>java-1_7_0-openjdk-1.7.0.6-8.14.5.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.13.2-1.5.1.x86_64
xorg-x11-driver-video-intel-legacy-2.9.1-13.1.2.x86_64
xorg-x11-driver-video-7.6_1-8.1.1.x86_64
libgtk-2_0-0-2.24.18-2.4.2.x86_64</code>

Ubuntu 12.04 (works)
<code>ii libgtk2.0-0                    2.24.10-0ubuntu6
ii openjdk-6-jre                6b27-1.12.6-1ubuntu0.12.04.4
ii xorg                            1:7.6+12ubuntu2
ii xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4.4</code>
(No idea if the minor version numbering is consistent across distros)

Very strange findings … I wonder whether it is related to Kepler or Graphiti (the framework we use to draw stuff). I did a quick search on issues with Graphiti, but couldn't find anything

Hi,

I can confirm this issue. When I create a new diagram, I go through the wizard, I see the diagram editor being displayed, but the wizard never ends. If I try to close the wizard window, I get a notification stating that some action is still running and I must kill Eclipse.

The problem seems to be related to Graphiti. I installed Graphiti examples and, when I run any of the examples, almost everything in Eclipse becomes locked and the Graphiti editor does not respond.

Hence we have to wait for an upstream fix. As far as I could check this problem only occurs in Linux environments as already mentioned above.

Thanks

+1
(just installed the Graphiti SDK plus, and the example locks up in the same fashion)

Thanks for reporting and confirming. If it's indeed a Graphiti-issue, I'm affraid we can't do much more than wait for a fix…

Hi again,

It seems that this issue is related with SWT/GTK and the underlying printing system, or at least with some dependency between them only observable when using Graphiti (at least in my case). CUPS is not running on my system by default, but I have it configured… I do not know if this is a regression, nevertheless the solution reported at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=215234 seems to work.

So, I just added <code>-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.disablePrinting</code> to <code>eclipse.ini</code> and the problem is solved.

Thanks.

hey,
just to confirm that this workaround solves the problem here…

@aleph: thanks for spotting this and letting us know

Wow that's amazing that you found that. Disable printing fixes the process rendering … jeez.

Thanks for posting back and getting to the bottom of this!

Thanks!
Adding the -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.disablePrinting to eclipse.ini solve my problem.
