Eclipse mark occurrences doesn't mark all occurrences

Question

Just installed Eclipse Juno Release, Build id: 20120614-1722.

I have 'Mark Occurrences' turned on, and I can see that it does indeed mark some of the occurrences in the JS file I'm editing. However, there's a function call that it doesn't mark.

var trackView = function() {
    saveData();
},
saveData = function() {
    // do something
};

When I click into the saveData occurrence where it is defined (line 4), it highlights, but it doesn't highlight the occurrence on line 2 where the function is being called. When I click into the saveData occurrence on line 2, neither highlights.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

The bug report in Eclipse also mentions another workaround: select something in the Outline view, and then select the field in your source again.

This works mostly always for me.

Answer 2

If you toggle from eclipse window to another window using ATL+TAB and come back to Eclipse window it is higlighted.

This is a known bug in Eclipse Juno and is actively (as of this writing) being investigated by Eclipse developers.

If you uncheck the below option it will work fine

Preference > Java > Editor > Mark Ocurrences > Uncheck: Keep marks when the selection changes.
