There were two merges after I20230524-1800 that probably should go into RC1:

1. Reverts #183, as it causes the PopupVisibleTimer to be kept running when eclipse.platform.text#208
2. Fix regression in RenameLinkedMode eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.ui#593

[akurtakov]

In this case a respin should be started ASAP.

1. @MohananRahul : looks like calendar thinks it is OK to merge now, as it shows green state for Check Code Freeze Period / check-freeze-period / verify-freeze-period (pull_request), see for example Improve JDT onboarding icon for the black theme eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.ui#594
2. @akurtakov : I will trigger I build now - do you agree?

[akurtakov]

Please trigger it.

I see weird classpath issues with Build id: I20230522-1800 see eclipse-pde/eclipse.pde#602

Will update to https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/I20230525-0350 and see if this goes away.

Nope, still there with Build id: I20230525-0350. Not sure what causes this in this example but a clean all projects fixes it until the next code edit, which indicates that this is an error.

@iloveeclipse Could you please check now.

Can someone give @iloveeclipse permission to change this calender directly? I have seen multiple request from Andrey to adjust the calender during the last weeks and it would be much more efficient and less annoying email updates if Andrey could change the calander directly.

[iloveeclipse]

Could you please check now.

Works after manual re-triggering, see updated state at eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.ui#594
Thanks.
