Eclipse is hanged on copy/paste in JavaScript files

I've been running Eclipse Helios 3.6 using the Java/CFEclipse IDEs, and finding some very strange and aggravating errors when trying to edit Javascript files. After the .js file reaches a certain size (~250 lines of code), Eclipse will randomly hang whenever I try to select, copy-paste selections, or save. Clicking after the hang starts will result in the "file edit source ... help" bar being whited out, and clicking again leads to the windows "(not responding)" message displayed in the program header. The hang then goes away after another 5-10 seconds of waiting. This is the case for all JavaScript files I try to edit, although shorter ones don't hang as long and don't bring up the "(not responding)" message.

I've thought it was a problem with the Javascript validation/autocomplete options, and have accordingly turned those off; however, the copy-paste hang problem still persists. I've also tried the Javascript IDE - same problem. Is this a problem with Eclipse Javascript handling, period? Has anyone else gotten errors like these? And if it's a fundamentally Eclipse problem, would anyone be able to suggest a better Javascript/Coldfusion editor?

EDIT: For more information, log output from the latest hang:

Does Eclipse support JavaScript?

Eclipse has usable JavaScript support if you are willing to overlook the incorrect code diagnostics, lack of code folding, and slow IDE startup.

How do I view JavaScript files in eclipse?

Go to the Outline view. If it is not displayed, go to Window | Show View | Outline. on the Outline view's toolbar and select html. HTML and JavaScript objects contained within the file will be displayed in a tree view.

For me the solution was disable this option...

Preferences/JavaScript/Editor/Typing{When pasting}/Update imports
