I've built a GUI using Swing and the MigLayout.

I am using Eclipse 4.2.2 (64-bit) on Windows 7 Ultimate. Every time I click back into the window to edit my code, a popup comes up, then I'm prompted to restart Eclipse, and the Event log says the following:

 org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles
    at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:4387)
    at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:4276)
    at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:4247)

    at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control.<init>(Control.java:112)
    at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Label.<init>(Label.java:101)
    ...

I'm attaching screenshots of the error messages. Has anyone else encountered this bug with Eclipse? Do you know of a work-around or a fix?

1. Problem Occurred Message

2. Internal Error Message asking me to close Eclipse

3. Event Details

I had the same problem, turned out that TeamViewer was causing this.

In your TeamViewer go to:

Extras → Options → Advanced → QuickConnect button, configure it and disable the show QuickConnect button.
