Can't Copy & Paste in Eclipse 3.5

Question

I recently updated my Eclipse to the latest release 3.5 and since then I have a very annoying problem with c&p using the shortcuts.

In an editor (xml, jsp, doesn't matter which one) I try to copy something and paste it somewhere else, nothing happens. When I cut out something and put it somewhere else I sometimes get something else (like a messed up part of my previous selection) or just some whitespaces. This gets even worse when I change lines in between.

First I thought that my keyboard is probably broken but it works just fine in other programs. Then I tried using the context menus' c&p and there it works. Yesterday I managed to get at least an error message when I tried to copy a file in the navigator from one project to another (the message was just "error using copy...bla". no details).

Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to solve it?

I am running on Kubuntu 9.04, and have quite some plugins installed (but only from the Galileo Updates Site), like Birt, Mylin, WST, or Subversive.

Answer 1

For my problem, I had to go to Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Typing, and uncheck "Update imports"

Answer 2

This must be related to the key mapping, since those shortcuts are defined according to context.
(Column "When", in Preferences / General / Keys)

Check if those shortcuts do not work for any editor (do they work for Java editor?)

If they work for some editor, not for other, then some plugin settings must have re-affected them to another command.
