Eclipese crashes on one (and only it appears) intellensense.

typing "Display.getW" (towards the Display.GetWidth() function) as I type W eclipse reproduceably crashes. Trying random other functions and classes yield no problems.

Any ideas as to what this might be?

The only bugs related to a crash on auto-completion all mention Linux platform and an issue with xulrunner library.

See for instance bug 236724:

You don't need to download an older version of xulrunner since the problem is merely that the 64bit version of the library is being loaded rather than the 32bit library.
To rectify this, just add the following line to your eclipse.ini file which points to the 32bit version of the xulrunner library:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=<path_to_32bit_xulrunner_lib>

On RHEL5 for example, the path would be /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.

So you would in this case either need an older version of xulrunner, or fixing its path.

On Windows, on the other hand, that may be a good opportunity to fill in a new bug report.

@paullb: strange... I can't find it. The latest bugs reported with "crash" in the sumary have an id of 318261 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=318261), so "1809962" seems a bit too high.

Reveiw ID is the only identification I received in the email back from SunOracle. I don't know if it corresponds to a bug ticket or not.

@paullb: SunOracle! Right. Not an Eclipse bugs then. I would have had recommended opening a ticket at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/. Where id you opened yours? at http://bugs.sun.com ?
