PyDev not displaying * character - pydev

Learning Python and using Oxygen Eclipse with PyDev 7.2. Noticed that when I try a simple multiply 2 * 8 that * is not displayed. After I type * and nothing is displayed, I need to press 8 key twice before 8 is displayed. Other characters are fine. Seems odd that * is not displayed.
Keyboard is fine because * is displayed in Word, Notepad and also in PythonWin.
thanks

Reinstalled Eclipse and PyDev and issue went away and now * is displaying as expected. That was an odd problem

Netbeans 12.1 not applying code assistance properly on C headers

I recently updated Netbeans from 12.0 to 12.1 on my Ubuntu 18.04 platform and I have noticed that code assistance has stopped working on C header files (*.h). Among other issues:
Selecting a hyphenated name like MY_C_MACRO by double clicking on it doesn't work; it only selects a token from the name ("MY", "C" or "MACRO") instead of the whole word.
Ctrl-clicking on a name doesn't switch to the definition of that name anymore.
Auto-tabbing doesn't work anymore (hitting ENTER brings the cursor to the beginning of the next line instead of placing it below the previous line's beginning.
Typing /** and hitting ENTER doesn't automatically insert the template for documenting the symbol below anymore.
Has anyone found the same problem and know how to fix it?

Using JSF 2, XHTML. Eclipse 3.7 won't throw any warnings.. No validation seems to be happening

I can put any kind of jibberish tags in the file and no warnings/errors are flagged.
Also, ctrl + shift + / doesn't work for adding block comments.
I tried to use the JBOSS tools, but that didn't help.

Eclipse 3.7 line wrap early on comments

I'm running the indigo release on Windows Vista.
I have set both the print margin in General -> Editors -> Text Editors and the maximum line width in Java -> Code Style -> Formatter to 100 characters, yet it is still determined to wrap my comments at column 80.
For example, when this is typed at the top of my file:
(longest lines are 90 and 94 characters respectively)
// This comment is over 80 characters long, but it is in no way over 100 characters long.
/*
* The same problem occurs in block comments as well. True, neither problem is code breaking,
* but it certainly is annoying all the same.
*/
It is formatted to:
(lines are 73 and 79 characters respectively)
// This comment is over 80 characters long, but it is in no way over 100
// characters long.
/*
* The same problem occurs in block comments as well. True, neither problem is
* code breaking,
* but it certainly is annoying all the same.
*/
I have tried restarting Java and have hit every "apply" button I can find, but to no avail. It does not appear to be listed as a known issue in the release notes. Is there something I'm missing? Something simple perhaps?
At least on Eclipse Helios (3.6), there's a separate "Comments"-tab on the Formatter-settings, which has its own "Maximum line width for comments"-setting.

Eclipse: Can you put your cursor on all lines?

In IDEA you had the possibility to put your cursor on all lines.
Is this possible in Eclipse?
Eclipse 3.5 should have a column mode (which is what I think you're asking about) - use Alt+Shift+A:
http://update.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/R-3.5-200906111540/eclipse-news-part1.html#Text
I haven't tried this since I'm stuck at version 3.4.1 for the time being. There's a patch that claims to work for 3.4.0 (http://tkilla.ch/column_mode/), but it's not working for my 3.4.1 install.
If you refer to the ability to select a group of lines (like a all function), you can use the outline view
alt text http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/radhelp/v7r5/topic/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/whatsNew/images/drag-and-drop-outline.png
From there, you can move/rearrange/delete all block of text.
If it is about column mode, see my answer here.

Getting netbeans more eclipse-y

I'm a long-time eclipse user looking to use netbeans now that I've tried netbeans out a bit. I mostly like what I see, except there's a few aesthetics missing. Anyone have ideas on if the following are available in NetBeans?:
Eclipse highlights modified & inserted lines in the left margin / gutter
Eclipse highlights the currently edited function in the left margin / gutter
Eclipse highlights TODO / FIXME comments in the right margin
For example:
alt text http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/5471/forso.png
... any ideas on how I can get Netbeans to do this sort if stuff ?
If your project is connected to source control netbeans will show added lines with a green block at the beginning of the line, modified lines with a blue block, and deleted lines with a red arrow. It also marks these in the right margin/gutter. This is based off of compared to last commit, not last save however.
As for the other two I could not find a way to implement them but I may just be missing something
