Eclipse Java编辑器中令人讨厌的自动扩展

Question

Ladies and gentlemen,

writing Java code in the Java editor in Eclipse, I often encounter a very unpleasant and annoying behavior: folded blocks of code above or/and below the point I type in spontaneously and unexpectedly expand; sometimes a fragment of text around the input point collapses as if it was a block like a class body or a method, though actually it is not; sometimes the text gets scrolled up or down or the scope changes otherwise, and I lose the point where I was typing in; sometimes the cursor jumps to another point, and if I type on, I get something like

private Arra
public void foobar() {
}yList someMethod()...

Sometimes the text structure gets totally misinterpreted with the folding manager, and the only way to deal with it I've found is to restart Eclipse.

What is the reason of such a behavior and how can I get rid of it?

Eclipse Lina (4.4.2), Windows 2003 server x64.

Impossible to tell what is causing this, but I'd start by downloading a new fresh Eclipse and start a new workspace. This is not proper behaviour. Perhaps you have installed a plugin that behaves erratically or are running something more than eclipse that can cause issues.
