Steps to reproduce
Ordered list detailing every step so other developers can reproduce the issue. Include hardware which you used.
- Install Basesdk image like described and start it
- Install package eclipse-ide-cpp
- Call eclipse-ide-cpp from Desktop
- Open .md file, e.g. with README.md, but this doesn't matter
- Look at "Preview" tab
Expected result
Explain (at least briefly) what result you expected. The preview should be seen like
Actual result
Explain the actual result observed after the execution steps. The preview screen is empty, like
Reproducibility
How often the issue is hit when repeating the test and changing nothing (same device, same image, etc.)?
Put the
-
✅ always with all tested v2022 and v2023 images but v2023dev2 - often, but not always
- rarely
Impact of bug
A developer uses Eclipse to write markdown documents, which is restricted without preview.
Attachments
Screen shots of correct and failed Eclipse behaviour.
Root cause
All tests don't point to a wrong Eclipse installation, since I have used a v2022 basesdk (problem happens) and I have used the Eclipse installation and also dependent packages from v2022dev (with preferences file). But the problem remains. Something has been changed at v2022, v2023dev3, v2023pre, but not at v2023dev2, which prevents the preview tab.
Outcomes
A corrected installation for Eclipse-ide-cpp
