Interacting with ChoiceBox in preview crashes Eclipse

[Bill van Melle <billvm@…>]

Selecting an item from a ChoiceBox in a preview window crashes Eclipse. Some of the time it crashes Eclipse so hard it comes up in a pretty serious error state when you restart it. Example:

<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import javafx.collections.*?>
<?import java.lang.*?>

<HBox xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml">    
    <ChoiceBox>
        <items>
            <FXCollections fx:factory="observableArrayList">
                <String fx:value="Foo"/>
                <String fx:value="Bar"/>
                <String fx:value="Baz"/>
            </FXCollections>
        </items>
    </ChoiceBox>
</HBox>

Windows or Mac - crashes most likely are bugs in JavaFX or it's SWT-Bridge.

I'm not sure who is the responsible for the crash - the crash i got with ​https://github.com/tomsontom/e-fx-clipse/blob/master/at.bestsolution.efxclipse.testcases.fxgraph/src/at/bestsolution/efxclipse/testcases/fxgraph/FactoryExample.fxgraph was in SWT

I've logged ​http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-19637 for upstream - there's nothing I can do about it until it is fixed upstream
