Eclipse Luna: Indentation size for xml is not editable - eclipse

I am trying to edit the indentation size for xml in Eclipse Luna on Ubuntu 12.04
I am not able to edit it.
I remember being able to edit it on a different version of Linux/Ubuntu.
Is there a reason why this is not editable?
Please let me know if posting any other information would be helpful to troubleshoot this.
Thanks Awesome people.

This is a bug in Eclipse WST. It has been reported as bug 428246. There is no workaround listed.

I tried to edit Rust code in Eclipse IDE, but I got problem "Failed to create the part's controls"

I downloaded an Eclipse's extinction for Rust, but then, after creating a new Rust project, i got this problem
I tried to follow some instuctions that I was able to found, including some from this website. I deleted and then downloaded Rust on my computer, I deleted and downloaded Eclipse, same with VS C++ building tools, but all this didn't help. I saw, that for some people helps to just reenter current workspace, but it was not my case. Despite this problem, default code seems to run OK, but it is almost impossible to edit. If someone had this problem or just know how to solve it, can you help please?
P.S. My English probably is not very good, so sorry for mistakes.
This is a known issue. Update to the latest proper TM4E release from https://download.eclipse.org/tm4e/releases/latest/ so that you have the bundle version with this class present.

Stop Eclipse from autocompleting variable names on declaration

Edit: I am a dumbass who repeatedly went into CA for JavaScript instead of Java. This is what happens when you blindly use the search box, folks.
I know this question has been asked and answered here before, but there's a problem. The solution just isn't there anymore.
I have the exact same problem as this good fella. I saw the answers, they say it's been patched in the 2018-12 release, which I assume is about 18 months old (I've only recently started using eclipse). I'm on the 2020-03 release and, as I said, the Disable insertion triggers except 'Enter' just isn't there anymore. See below:
Eclipse Preferences->Editor->Content Assist Window in 2020-03 release:
I tried looking for it elsewhere in Preferences but I can't find it. When I try to google it all that comes is this same solution, and nothing useful comes up if I filter the searches for time. Does someone know where this option went or if there is another way I can fix this? It's driving me nuts.
Your screenshot shows the JavaScript, not the Java content assist preference page where this setting has never existed:
Window (macOS: Eclipse) > Prefences: JavaScript > Editor > Content Assist
The Java content assist setting described in the mentioned answer can still be found at the same place:
Window (macOS: Eclipse) > Prefences: Java > Editor > Content Assist

How exactly do I fix my eclipse and not the bug?

I have this bug in my eclipse which causes the screen to go black when moving unfocused tab around, it's really annoying and I'm trying to figure out how do I apply the fix mentioned in the above link. I tried to understand this answer and I also saw this answer but these didn't help, and trying to google for it brings up either info about how to fix the bugs themselves, or how to create patches.
I just want to fix my eclipse, the bug has been already fixed and I want to apply that fix to my eclipse, any thorough and detailed answers are welcome,
thanks
Just upgrade your Eclipse installation to 4.3. The bug has been fixed in that version and that version was released in June 2013.

Strange eclipse display issues

I use Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers for most of my coding, html, css, php etc etc. Recently however I have noticed an issue where after doing a combination of "something" the display of my files completely screws up and does all sorts of weird things.
For example if I try and add a on starting to do it the characters just start going all over the place and giving me display issues like that shown in the attached screenshot.
It's a little tricky to explain exactly what's happening but eclipse basically becomes unusable as each keypress seems to do something random and mess up the page even more.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I'm using a mac on Snow Leopard with Eclipse Indigo.
Just to update this. To resolve this issue I ended up downloading the latest version of eclipse and overwriting the eclipse directing with this. I tried just doing an update but this did not work so I'm guessing I had some corrupt files or something.
The good thing about eclipse is that you have a workspace folder that is essentially separate, so if you replace eclipse you can just re-import your old workspace.
ALl seems to be working as normal so far!

Scala Eclipse plugin doesn't show mouse hover documentation

I just installed the Scala IDE Eclipse plugin with a fresh install of Eclipse Indigo. I followed the getting started youtube video on the scala-ide.org main page on a fresh installation of Indigo. Instead of showing the complete documentation for the String Java class, it shows "type String = String"
I did notice incidentally by looking at the project properties, that in the scala-library.jar and others in the project, under "javadoc location," they show "(None) - non modifiable." I'm not sure if this is the problem, or if the Scala editor gets its documentation somewhere else.
Has anyone else experienced this and/or figured out how to fix it? Thanks!
In addition to the bug that you've raised (Mouse hover doesn't show documentation), there
are the following issues:
Hovering on a type should show its javadoc
Javadoc view regression
As you can see, the issue is a real bug, so there aren't any workarounds at the minute. Sorry.
You could always fix it if you like :-)
So there are updates to this question
The issues stated above are fixed in the latest release.
Hovering on type should show fix
Scaladoc integration with code completion
Please use the latest release of ScalaIDE(post 3.0.4-211) to work with them
