Mouse-over causes IDE to freeze/lock up #1334

Description
When using mouse over to show content of variables or functions etc. the IDE will typically freeze after a couple of seconds showing the mouse over window. The window content is correctly shown and the window can be closed with the ESC key, but Eclipse is frozen afterwards (unresponsive to key presses or mouse clicks) and the only way to terminate Eclipse is to kill it.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Move mouse over variable or function to see content
  2. IDE freezes

Expected behavior
After the mouse-over window has been shown, the IDE was expected to respond to normal user inputs through keyboard or mouse.

Screenshots
None
