Just FYI for those who never used the editor, it's not an Eclipse
crash. it's just the rendering that fails until you fix your layout.
Eclipse is still usable but you have to switch to XML view to edit the
layout.
If you ran your app with such a layout, your app WOULD crash though.

Is it a problem? Yes. Is it a major problem? Well it happens with one
finicky widget that you're usually dropping once in a layout (it's not
like it's a problem with buttons of checkboxes that you use all the
time).

Anyway, just explaining why it's been a low priority bug on our list.
We've decided to add some much needed features (like Library Projects)
instead of making the layout editor perfect, mostly because the editor
can be used with a mix of the XML editor and the rendering for
preview.

We *are* working on it now though.
