Lombok Eclipse Problem: "Java AST Request from Selection"

Question

I have a Lombok plugin installed in my Eclipse. So far, it has been working fine since many days. Suddenly, I often get a popup in my Eclipse with the following details:

An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
lombok/launch/PatchFixesHider$PatchFixes


An internal error occurred during: "Requesting Java AST from selection".
lombok/launch/PatchFixesHider$PatchFixes

The Eclipse error log has the following:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui.workbench 4 2 2016-08-29 13:18:38.631
!MESSAGE Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.eclipse.ui.workbench".

Eclipse Version:

Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.

Version: Neon Release (4.6.0)
Build id: 20160613-1800

This popup happens quite often and is very annoying. Does anyone know how to fix this?
