RE: [eclipse-pmc] PMC bug fix request: for Bug 236324 ? [Forms] Eclipse

[Philippe P Mulet <philippe_mulet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am torqued. On one side, it indeed
feels kind of a blooper for the release, but at the same time, we had this
bug undetected for almost a year...
Something to discuss in next PMC call.

Eclipse 3.4 crashes / failes to repaint when "Close Others" is
used with SharedHeaderFormEditor
 

+1 

We can't crash and fail to paint.  The exact nature of the fix is
still under discussion in the bug report.  We will do the safest thing
possible.

BUG URL: 

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=236324

GOALS/BENEFITS: 

This bug is a regression which was introduced early in Eclipse 3.4. It
caused serious problems for the Mylyn project and was marked as a blocker
because it caused a crash on Linux. While Mylyn has been able to work around
this bug it could impact any user of SharedHeaderFormEditor. To create
the symptoms it is necessary to have more than one editor open and then
close them in a particular order, this could easily get missed in product
testing but will show up in the real world. Because this is a regression
which can affect existing code and because the consequences are severe
we are requesting approval to fix this in Eclipse 3,4,

RISKS: 

We have taken every possible step to minimize risk. A new JUnit test has
been added . The patch has been reviewed by 4 different reviewers and we
can see no way that this will cause regressions. We have also tested editors
which use SharedHeaderFormEditor including the PDE editors and the Forms
examples and found no problems there.

PERFORMANCE IMPACT: 

None._______________________________________________
