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 validation code system?

Do I mess something in my Eclipse setting?

Here is my conf :

  • Eclipse 3.4.2
  • Plugin RSE
  • Windows XP pro Service Pack 2
  • Java VM version = 1.5.0_11-b03

Disabling Hyperlinking fixed this for me. You could also just change the Default modifier key to something other than CTRL if you still want to use hyperlinking.

Go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Hyperlinking and either uncheck Enable on demand hyperlink style navigation or change Default modifier key.
