This page lists the most obvious known issues with TM 2.0 and suggests workarounds. By "most obvious" we mean those issues that many users are likely to encounter. Note that there may be other severe or critical issues not listed here, because they are less likely to occur. See the Bugzilla: TM Major and Critical, P1 and P2 query to show those.

Known Problems in TM 2.0.x
TM 2.0.2 is the latest official release.
| Bug # | Description | Workaround |
| 181458 | Cannot drag&drop / copy&paste from remote to Windows Explorer | We had to take out the "Download on Copy" workaround again because of critical bug 189268. A proper fix will need a fix in SWT. Workaround: Copy&Paste to the RSE "Local" file system instead. |
| 153652 | Cannot drag&drop from remote into the Project Explorer | We had to take out the "Download on Copy" workaround again because of critical bug 189268. A proper fix will need support for the "PluginTransfer" method in the Project Explorer. Workaround: Open the Resource Navigator in a separate view, then drag&drop to the Resource Navigator instead. |
| 190803 | Some long-running dstore commands cannot be canceled | When a "list directory" query is extremely slow because of e.g. missing mounted file systems, the dstore server gets unresponsive because it is single-threaded for "list" type queries. Other queries are multi-threaded, so fixing this in the future should not be too hard. Unfortunately, when the client cancels the operation further access to the hanging dstore server may block the UI. Workaround: When a dstore connection hangs, cancel the job in the progress view, then disconnect and reconnect the hanging connection. This will restart the dstore server. |
Issues fixed in recent milestones
| Bug # | Fixed in | Description |
| |
TM 3.0M3 | Eclipse 3.4 only: When running on Eclipse 3.4M3, the TM 2.0.x Terminal leads to ClassCastExceptions, missing menu items and slow operation in general |
| |
TM 2.0.2 | 2.0.1 regression: Terminal causes stack overflow -- has been fixed and promoted to Europa Fall Maintenance Update. |
| |
TM 2.0.2 | 2.0.1 regression: Terminal does not paint properly on Mac OSX -- has been fixed and promoted to Europa Fall Maintenance Update. |

TM 2.0.1 | Problems with EFS Integration
All known major EFS related issues have been fixed for TM 2.0.1. In many cases we think that the problem is not with the TM/RSE EFS provider but with the clients not being prepared for remote resources through EFS properly. We encourage all projects to be aware that resources in the workspace are not necessarily fast to access, in the case they actually reside on a remote computer linked in through EFS. TM/RSE is a great toolkit to verify EFS-awareness. |
| |
TM 2.0.1 | (BIDI) File and Path names in files tree do not honor encoding: For SSH and FTP, this has been fixed in TM 2.0.1; for dstore, it is possible to launch the server with required encoding settings (see the bug for details). For enhanced usbility, dstore should also use the host-wide encoding control in the future. |
