so when you make syntax errors, etc, eclipse will automatically put in an x button on the line number and then when you fix the error, that x button is supposed to disappear
normally, it should disappear right after the error is fixed, but in my case, it would disappear for up to 5 seconds after the error is fixed which is abnormal
anyone knows why this is the case?
The behavior your describe is not abnormal. Validation is expensive and if done completely in realtime would bog down your actions (like typing). Instead, validation tasks are queued and are typically executed during a pause in keyboard activity. If you type energetically, you will notice that the validation doesn't update for quite a while. The exact experience will also vary with the power of your computer.

Last Edit:
It appears I've had an F8 key being pressed non-stop, and it seems to be a shortcut for "Go to Next Error or Warning".
I've wrote a piece of code, it has an error which I'm aware of. Specifically, I'm trying to run a function which doesn't exist yet:
All good, I'm glad it is telling me there's a problem, but... I wish to keep writing stuff in the same file and I simply can't. Every so often the GUI keeps sending the caret (the place where my next piece of text will be written) to the beginning of the problematic piece of code. Simply speaking, I can't keep doing anything until I resolve the problem, since it forcefully intrudes my every action. Even more than that! When I go to a different file, with means of fixing the problem and adding the missing function, it once again interrupts me and forcefully takes me back to the problematic file to show me that there's a problem (??!?!?!). Closing it with "Esc" only closes it once, but it keeps on returning every several seconds.
I don't think it was like that just a week ago, and I didn't install any new plugin since then. I'm currently using the last version, 1.58.2.
How do I stop this work-flow-intruding behavior?
Edit:
I've kept on working for some time and it turns out the issue is much bigger than that. Whenever I type a name of some property, half way through some wild problem would jump and tell me "Cannot find name 'quar'. Did you mean 'quarter'?". The issue is basically the time delay of the problem checks, it's non-existent. It's also too intrusive, moving the caret and jumping between files to show me the existing problems. It's very recent, it didn't happen earlier this week. I've tried disabling different plugins I have and they're not the cause.
This is not exactly your issue, but could be related to what you are experiencing: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/68776
Try disabling the Outline Explorer and see what happens then.
Furthermore, see if disabling autosave improves anything.
"press the restart button to restart Visiual Studio Code and enable the setting."
Now Im going to preface this by saying that this is quite possibly the most annoying thing I have ever experienced in my years computing.
I'm new to VS Code and as such I am knee deep in my settings.json a lot of the time. Especially moreso when Ive just installed a new extension and it comes with loads of parameters, alnd all sorts of goodies - sort of like I did today when I got home from work.
I open settings.json. I add a comment line indicating a new section for my new extension's myriad of settings I half understand, and move any auto-generated config settings from the bottom to the freshly minted position. I start typing, the widget pops up letting me know about all 70+ settings I can fiddle with as much as I please.
I hit tab on the first entry, it goes down. Tab again, "true" goes down.
"A setting has changed that requires a restart to take effect"
OKAY no problem VS code. Quick restart, back to my config.
I start typing the extension again, I get 200ms in or however long it takes for that widgit to appear, and
"A setting has changed that requires a restart to take effect"
I watch the text in my editor contort as the settings are unloaded and reloaded and unloaded again.
I got the first 4 characters of the extension name typed out before this lovely notification reappears.
Now,
when this happens a few times its a little irritating.
BUT THIS IS CONSTANT .Every. Single. Line. I try to add. Each and every setting. Sometimes 2 or 3 times before I actually get the string down, never-mind its value.
I don't know what to do, I am legitimately going to rip my hair out. This is by far easily up there with one of the most frustrating things I have ever been forced to endure. It is relentless.
I dont know what else to do. Ive tried all I can think of.
I just want to learn and use my new extension.
Please for the love of anything help me.
Please.
We are experimenting with iPython and so far are quite impressed. However, there is a slight irritation that if you modify code in an input cell and click elsewhere it can appear to have executed (there is output!) but it has not been return.
What would be really nice is if there was a way that cell background colour changed if it has not been executed (or executed since the last change). Has anyone tried to do this? I guess if you take this to the extreme you might also highlight cells which are out of order - where there is a risk it no longer 'makes sense' if run top to bottom.
I'm debugging someones code, and it freezes when I do something specific, but Eclipse doesn't stop on an error (I may have accidentally turned this off). When I press pause in the debugger, Eclipse shows me a bunch of suspended threads, where two of them are coloured red.
I want to find out if there is an error anywere, or if there's just an infinite loop somewhere (which doesn't seem likely, because Eclipse should break in the loop in that case).
I'd be great if anyone can help me with this Thanks in advance!
Maybe you have a deadlock?
You can use jconsole (goes with java jdk) to find out this. Launch jconsole, attach to your process, go to the Threads tab. Press "Detect deadlock"... It can be also useful to look at all threads states, for example you can have infinity loop in one thread and another thread blocked etc...
I've had this happen to me before, try inserting breakpoints every few lines of code, then stepping through those until it breaks, removing the breakpoints that don't have any errors between them. Remember the line of code that causes it to crash and make whatever changes are necessary to fix it.
I use Xcode 4.0.1..Suddenly I noticed that my xcode stopped showing predictions...(for example if I use the name of the button and after that it use to show all the property of the button such as enabled,hidden etc)...My Xcode isn't showing any predictions now, it leads to some errors and consuming long time with out these predictions..Where I want to change this settings?
Sometimes exiting XCode and restarting clears up strange behavior like this. Also, Mac OS X needs a reboot from time to time. Unfortunate, but true.
Could it be that you haven't imported the correct class(es)?
I have this problem when I get the compiler confused -- like during a refactoring and a large block of code, protocol names, interface properties, etc. are being changed. I will clean and compile -- allow the errors, then it starts to work again.
Also, if I have unbalanced braces, brackets, parenthesis, etc. that precedes the code I am working on, then it will stop autocompletion. As soon as I balance the statement(s), it works again. Sometimes, I have to clean and recompile.
