Question

I’ve a very weird problem:

after upgrading from Ubuntu 10.10. to 11.04 (new installation), I have weird problems with the Eclipse editor.

When writing Java code (new Project was created) I type

System.out.println("bla")

and then “out” is shown as rectangles only. Weird is that for about half a second I see “System.out.println” and then the editor changes it to System.[][][].println (not really [] (here I used two brackets), it is shown as rectangles).
See the attached file for an example.

This is very weird. I’ve never had this before with any Ubuntu, Java or Eclipse version.

Currently, I use: Ubuntu 11.04. Eclipse 3.6 (latest download from June 7th) and Java 1.6.0_25.

Eclipse and Ubuntu Terminal is set to UTF-8.

The problem also happens when using KDE instead of Gnome.

Any ideas what could be wrong here and how to fix this?
