Message "'UI Update' has encountered a problem." appears often while debugging in ADT

[NemanjaSimovic]

Hi ADT developers and Community,

Lately, I got very often the message "'UI Update' has encountered a problem." every time when I want to open a table in debugger. Like on a image below:

I'm using:

Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (includes Incubating components)
Version: 2024-06 (4.32.0)
Build id: 20240606-1231

with Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle 2024.2.0.

Is this a bug or maybe there are something to do in Preferences? Appreciate any hint. 😉

Thanks.

Regards,
Nemanja

We strongly recommend to not use DevStyle / Darkest Dark Theme together with ADT, as the way how it works is very invasive and we cannot guarantee the functionality in combination with ADT. Can you please try to reproduce the issue using an installation without DevStyle?

I'm using DevStyle / Darkest Dark theme with ADT for over two years. But yes, I have noticed some issues, but nothing major. But if recomendation is not to use it, then I guess it's best not to use it. It had really good icons. 😞 I'll try with default theme and give a feedback. 👍

Hi @ysoethoff,

I removed Darkest Dark theme from Eclipse, and used original Dark theme. Changed couple of colors that annoyed me, though. But occasionally I still get similar message "Argument not valid" :

Now I don't believe that Dark Theme that came with the Eclipse could be the cause. At some point I'll try with completely default theme and options, and write here result. 😊

BR,
Nemanja

Hello solution seeker, 😉

With incredible turn of events I finally managed to solve this issue. Incredible is that ChatGPT suggested me to do the following:

• Reset the Debug Perspective:

  • Go to Window > Perspective > Reset Perspective.
  • This resets the layout, which might fix any misconfigurations causing the issue.

This worked immediately. 🤯 I think I was still in the debug session and when I start double-clicking on each table and they were displayed in ABAP Internal Table (Debugger) window. The annoying message didn't appeared anymore. 👍

Thanks everyone on the interest. Hope it will work for everyone.

Regards,
Nemanja

Do you have any updates on this topic? Since last week I also get this error without previously changing anything in eclipse. Dark mode shouldn't be the problem, I'm not using it at the moment.

No updates yet, unfortunatelly. It's till happening to me on every table display in debug. Ohhh, so many unnecessary clicks.... 😫
