I just started using Eclipse 2020-9R CDT, from 2019-6.
Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS.
Java 11.0.4 2019-07-16 LTS
When I try to highlight any text, the editor always highlights from line 0, column 0, to the selected character. No matter where I start my selection. And the selected region does not change as I drag the mouse.
Expected behavior should be I click and drag the mouse, and the text that I drag over gets selected. Clicking and dragging from line 500, column 10 to line 501, column 50, I would expect to have line 500, column 10 to line 501, column 50 selected. Instead, I will see line 0, column 0, to line 500, column 10.
I apologize if this is a known issue, but I can't think of any good keywords to search on. Is this a known issue? Is there a work around?

Hello.
I had the same problem. I solved it by updating gtk from 3.18 to 3.20.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
Good luck
