It actually happens to me sometime, and I never managed to successfully reproduce it ! Thanks for sharing this video.
It happened that I still occasionally reproduce it, but most of the time, it's because I hit CTRL (for pasting) and accidentally click with my mouse on a symbol (which navigates to its definition), then I hit "V" which pastes at the position I accidentally navigated to.
Sounds stupid, it's a finger problem, and it also happens to me sometime in some other editors...
Yes I remember that your screencap was pertinent, but it's not online anymore... Could you reproduce it ?
Unfortunately not. It seems that the Eclipse PDT team is ignoring this bug since August, so there's no value in doing so. If a maintainer requests it, I'll create a new video.
This is not PDT bug itself but SSE (same problems in XML and CSS editors), document is not always correctly synchronized with UI. Same problems appear sometimes after ctrl+z, etc... Since at least 10 years none touched this on WTP side, i have to drop entire WTP support. Marking as wontfix (it's nothing to do on PDT side)
