Eclipse crashes on pasting something in Editor.

[vishalbandre]

Please provide a brief summary of the bug

It doesn't happen on each paste but it happens occasionally.

I experienced the same behavior on Eclipse 2022 and 2021.

Initially, I was using Eclipse 2022 but encountered this issue, so I did try to downgrade my Eclipse to 2021. But, some happens here as well.

My System:
Ubuntu 22.04 64bit
Processor: i5 11th Gen

Please provide steps to reproduce where possible

// I am working with two IDEs because of my requirements.
// Eclipse 2021 (Java) and Android Studio (Kotlin).

For my particular project, I am manually converting Kotlin code to Java.

I have a Java class.

So to reproduce the issue. Our cycle is copying code snippets from Android studio and pasting them into any method in Java class inside eclipse.

Steps to Reproduce the issue:

i. Copy any Kotlin code snippet (body of any method inside any Kotlin class) from the Android Studio editor.
ii. To reproduce the issue: go inside any function in the Java class.
iii. Paste it in the eclipse into any method.
iv. The crash will occur.

Note: This doesn't happen on each paste, but, occasionally, and frequently.

Expected Results

The content should have been pasted into the Eclipse editor.

Actual Results

Instead, Eclipse is crashing. No results.
