Warning: macOS update to 26.1 breaks Eclipse text selection

[st_otto]

Hello,

if you are using macOS and STM32CubeIDE and need it productively you should currently refrain updating your macOS. Due to a bug in Eclipse (https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/issues/2621) text selection does no more work via dragging your mouse or using shift+arrows.

There is already a fix but STM32CubeIDE does not provide the fix as update as of now.

I already filed a case.

I agree. I really like ST's products, and have done for years back to the ST20, but I think they really need to work harder to keep their tools current and up-to-date (don't get me started on the BLE mess).

I am on V2.0.0 now and I was hoping it would be fixed given that this is a major version increment, but alas no.

Thank you so much for taking the time to offer the work-around, I am wondering if I should downgrade to apply, or wait a few days longer....

My gut feeling is that everyone is being pushed over to VS Code and CMake which is perhaps why these types of bugs are left for so long.

On a side note, and since I am moaning, the bug where it messes up the path to the linker file on code regeneration is back. It preserves a custom filename, but trashes the path again. Not sure how you fix a bug one day and then put it back in...

rework crash the app. Tahoe 26.2  CubeIDE 1.19.0

Bug observed in MacOS 26.2 with CubeIDE 2.0.0 as well.

And Eclipse 2025-06 (4.36.0).

To be fair (asking a lot) this is not an ST problem. Both Eclipse and CubeIDE worked properly prior to updating to MacOS 26.2. The people that complain that ST should be better at choosing when to release a system should remember that Apple radically changed how their UI works, ultimately breaking Eclipse and CubeIDE. This is also not the first time that Apple's alterations borked Eclipse and CubeIDE, don't you remember the upside-down splash screen? That was corrected by Eclipse AND Apple subsequently.

So, hang on for a while and fixes will be coming.

BTW, control-space code completion doesn't work too.

UPD. Works fro me now. For some reason copy pasting filename make some autocorrections and changed ","  to "_"
