Eclipse hang when copying / pasting code

Question

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 vali

Answer 1

I solved this issue with these steps:

1. Identify which "editor" is causing the problem. I detected that, in my case, the java script editor was the one causing it, but when copy/pasting in a simple text editor, (no high light, no color , no nothing) there was no such problem.

   Note:Eclipse loads the file in different "editor windows/ plugins" depending on the file extension, this is configured in General > Editors > File Associations

2. As my case was caused by the JavaScript editor, went to Preferences > Java Script > Editor > Typing, and disabled all the "Automatically" boxes. This made the trick.
