Logcat is running and collecting device data, however I cannot see it

Question

I'm getting a very strange error with the Android logcat view in Eclipse. I have a device attached, and have selected it from the DDMS perspective, so logcat should be showing messages, however what I see is this:

my view of the logcat

I know that the logcat is receiving data, however, because when I place my mouse over part of the logcat, I can see the item:

now with my mouse over the tag field

Has anyone else encountered this problem? How did you fix it?

Try to restart your workspace. And as case create a new filter.

I have restarted Eclipse several times, and removed and re-added the view. Could you be more descriptive about creating a new filter (and how it will help)? – Phil Oct 03 '11 at 15:14
1)Focus on logcat 2)press Create filter 3)Create new Name,then Log Tag for example : mainActivity and chose a Log level.4)Then you can see the information in your log filter using Log.i("mainActivity, "YourMessage"); – Yahor10 Oct 03 '11 at 15:16

Solved!

I updated my Android SDK with the following updates:

Android SDK Tools, revision 13
Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 7

And now it works like it should.
