Version: 4.5 (using Devel) OS: Linux I use Eclipse Helios for PHP development with KDE 4.5.1 (Opensuse 11.3, x86_64). Today I upgraded to the latest RPMs of Opensuse's Factory repository. The rpm for kdebase is kdebase4 4.5.1-178.1-x86_64 from KDE 4 Factory - if that information helps. Now there is a new problem with Eclipse and KDE (different from the known MALLOC-problem in 4.5.0, which has been circumvented recently). Description: Eclipse starts perfectly. No crash during startup. It loads all the plugins I use. The PHP editor works normally as long as no dialog window for variable proposal opens. However, as soon as the dialog with the variable proposal table is displayed - e.g. when you type $ and wait - you run into trouble when a) you choose a variable b) leave the dialog by ESC c) or klick with the mouse into the editor area again. Eclipse crashes immediately. Messages from the JVM are (Eclipse resides in a directory /samba/eclipse on my machine): JVM terminated.

The same eclipse installation with the same projects, SVN etc. works flawlessly with a previous 4.5.0 version (with MALLOC_CHECK_=0) and a previous 4.5.1 version. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Open eclipse, open a file in the PHP editor, provoke the opening of a variable proposal dialog, choose a suggested variable to be used in the editor's code. Actual Results: Crash of eclipse Expected Results: Normal editor operation
Tested the same Eclipse installation an project for Opensuse 11.2 and KDE 4.5. No problem there. It seems that the problem really is due to something in the latest KDE 4.5.1 version.
Meanwhile I did a clean reinstall of Opensuse 11.3 from scratch, updated to KDE 4.5.1 and updated glibc. I reinstalled Eclipse and tested for a fresh project. No problems any longer. So my problem probably resulted from other package updates and not from KDE 4.5.1. I shall try to narrow down the problem but for the time being I think I close the bug as the connection of my problem to KDE 4.5.1 could be be misleading.
