Ubuntu 16.04 + Neon.1: Markdown View remains blank

[sdruskat]

I've installed version 1.2.0.201501260515 into Neon 4.6.0 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

The Markdown View (it's called that rather than Markdown HTML Preview) remains blank when opening an MD file in the Markdown Editor.

Hello Stephan

Sorry you're experiencing issues. I was unable to reproduce this -- I tested with Neon 4.6.0 on Linux Mint, which should be pretty similar. The Markdown View seemed to work fine.

Have you tried restarting Eclipse? Re-opening the .md or .txt file? Toggling between views, so the Markdown View re-gains focus? Hopefully one of those will work.

I'm afraid I can't do much more to help. Even if I had reproduced the issue, I might not have the time to fix it. This is a side-project, and only gets minimal maintenance from me, Paul, or the other contributors.

Kind regards,

• Daniel

Same issue here.

I have installed 1.2.0.201501260515 into Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2) on Windows 7.

The Markdown View remains blank when opening an MD file in the Markdown Editor.

RESOLVED Googling for the swt error showed that one would need to force GTK2 (yes it's not as beautiful as GTK3) to use xulrunner (i.e. the embedded browser)
