Hi Monica, 

 I hate to be one to tell you to upgrade to the latest version... but if you can, I would suggest doing this. The eclipse platform that Nios II IDE is built on had a significant upgrade between Nios II 1.1 and Nios II 5.0 -- many eclipse and C development bugs were corrected during this time, and I would try out the new version to see if it corrects the problem you're seeing.
