Changed behavior of Undo/Redo menu's entries? [message #1862176]

While porting EMF Parsley from 2022-12 to 2023-09 many of my SWTBot tests fail: those that try to click on Undo/Redo Edit's menus.

In 2022-12, EMF entries for Undo/Redo used to have a description, e.g., "Undo New EClass", both in the "Edit" menu and in the editor's context menu.

In 2023-09, the one of the "Edit" menu contains no description, just "Undo", while the one in the context menu still has "Undo New EClass".

Is that a change in EMF or a general change in the IDE?

Just curiosity: I can update my SWTBot tests accordingly ;)

I never noticed that and never changed anything that seems related to that. It's more likely to be a change in the Platform than a change in EMF. The org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui.action.UndoAction.update() and org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui.action.RedoAction.update() methods are called and do update the text of the action. One sees that text in the context menu. But not in the Edit menu. Hmmm.

I still haven't checked with 2023-12, but I guess that's what you're using and you see that behavior as well, don't you?

I saw it in 2023-12 and 2023-09. It looks okay still in 2023-06.

OK. As I said, it's not a problem (I've updated my SWTBot tests, and it was easy (https://github.com/eclipse-emf-parsley/emf-parsley/commit/296b044031bdc7b5ead5de192d1e855f239cd722).
However, this new behavior is strange ;)

It's not an improvement. :-(

I noticed the same thing with Sirius's SWTbot test, and reported https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/issues/1314
The regression is due to a change in the platform itself in 2023-09.
