May 2026 monthly summary focusing on a critical stability improvement in the Eclipse Platform UI. Implemented a robust sticky scroll height calculation that handles variable line heights caused by mixed content (e.g., emoji) in the text editor. This change sums actual per-line heights and refines the visible-lines limiting logic, resulting in more accurate scrolling and layout behavior across content types.

May 2025 release engineering focus for eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui. Delivered the Editor component milestone by bumping the Editor bundle version to 3.20.0 and updating MANIFEST.MF, signaling a new release milestone for org.eclipse.ui.editors. This improves release readiness, compatibility, and QA planning for downstream consumers.

January 2025 performance-focused delivery across two repositories, emphasizing editor reliability, cross-platform consistency, and test coverage. Key features/bug fixes implemented: 1) eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui: LineNumberRulerColumn now accounts for LineSpacing to align line numbers with word-wrapped text; 2) eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui: Sticky scrolling consolidated and hardened—removed unnecessary styling job, added guards against outdated/out-of-bounds sticky lines, ensured correct display in search view, and added edge-case tests; 3) swt-initiative31/prototype-skija: Display.withCrLf line ending normalization bug fixed on Windows with robust normalization and added regression tests. Impact includes improved user experience in code editing, more reliable sticky line behavior during editor/search interactions, and cross-platform line ending handling with stronger test coverage.

December 2024 monthly summary for eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui: Delivered a refactor of the Sticky Scrolling feature to use ISourceViewer for calculating sticky lines, replacing direct StyledText access. Introduced line-number mapping between the model and the widget to ensure accurate sticky line rendering. Enhanced correctness when content is dynamic or contains hidden lines, improving UI stability and user experience. This work reduces maintenance of low-level UI APIs and aligns the implementation with the platform's source viewer model, delivering tangible business value through more reliable navigation and a smoother UI.

November 2024: Stabilized the UI by fixing a crash in sticky-line styling in eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui. The change constrains styling to visible lines, refactors the styling loop for clarity, and adds regression tests. This improves runtime stability, reduces the risk of UI crashes in production, and strengthens test coverage and maintainability.

2024-10 Monthly Summary for eclipse.platform.ui: Delivered Sticky Lines Scrolling Enhancements by centralizing the line adaptation logic into a single handler, enabling customization of sticky text and styles, and introducing an extension point for editor/language-specific behaviors. This work improves user experience, reduces maintenance surface, and establishes a scalable foundation for future editor integrations across the platform. Business value includes smoother UX, lower rework cost, and easier extensibility for language/tool integrations.
