Question

Eclipse in debug view does not refresh correctly as you can see on the picture.

It only refreshes the debug view after I move the cursor up or down. Step over or Step Into commands do not fix the refresh problem.

I am running Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers on MacOS

Version: 2019-09 R (4.13.0) Build id: 20190917-1200

Also, when I set the cursor above a variable in the debug view it does not show its content in the rectangle that opens below. The rectangle remains empty. This used to work before.

Thanks so much in advance.

Answer 1

This looks like you have an outdated Eclipse that was released before Big Sur, and not yet Eclipse 2020-12 with fixes for Big Sure (maybe Eclipse bug 569147 or one of these Big Sure bugs which are already fixed).

Upgrade or reinstall Eclipse to get rid of these UI glitches.
