Follow up to the FAQ about the GTK3 "freeze"
“Why does the IDE freeze when accessing to the build settings (Properties > C/C++ Build > Setting) on Linux ?”
This is NOT a bug in Eclipse as far as I can tell. This is a bug in the plugins installed by AC6. I created 3 fresh instances of Eclipse (different versions) and tested with and without the AC6 plugins. AC6 -> Compiler Options stall (even when the project is a generic non-STM32 C program). I can’t find bug reports on the issue. Fedora now pretty much requires GTK3 to run Eclipse. Falling back to GTK2 solution has far worse problems. See attached image for how it breaks.
My options are to use GTK3 and wait 60 seconds to change compiler options.
Alternatively, use GTK2 and have windows render incorrectly and lose my gd mind when I try to debug an application.
Neither of these is really acceptable.
