Eclipse freeze accessing project -> properties -> android tab

Like the question says, no mater what project i try this on, old or brand new, when I right click on the project and go to properties, then select the Android tab (I want to add a library), Eclipse freezes. I have to kill it. Has anyone run into this problem or know how I might fix it?

Thanks

EDIT:

Eclipse SDK Version: 3.6.2 Build id: M20110210-1200

EDIT: Or is there another way to add a library. I want to try out ActionbarSherlock :)

Ok, so I don't claim to understand it, but I've tried it more than once and confirmed it. When I'd go to the Android tab in Properties, the window automatically stretches the full height of my monitor and freezes. So, I killed it and went back in, but this time, starting on a different category ("Resource" in this case), I squashed the window height down to almost as small as it could get and clicked on Android. It worked. Didn't freeze. Then I was able to expand the window to see the list of libraries. No idea what it is, but I did it several times...recreating the freeze and then the fix. Hopefully this will save someone else...

i have found the reason ,because the list of available Android sdk is too long ,the window of the property can't be drawn immediately ,so it has no response. the solution is open the SDK Manager ,delete the old sdk platform ,such as 1.5 1.6 3.0 3.1 3.2 those are not used usualy.then restart the eclipse .it works now .
