buttons in dialogs are not click-able [message #492678]

Hi!

Recently (after some gtk2+ update, I guess) I started to experience this kind of problem in Eclipse: in dialogs buttons are not click-able. If I use a keyboard shortcut - it works as supposed, but when I click it with the mouse - nothing happens (although button redraws with click animation, etc). It doesn't happen in every dialog. Just a few minutes ago it happened in the "New project" dialog. And AFAIR I saw this behavior in the "Install new software" dialog, and in a few other dialogs as well.

I use Arch Linux, gtk2 version 2.18.2.

Has anybody seen such things happening?

Yes, many: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=291257. You have to
set GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true in your environment as a workaround, until the
problem is solved.

No problem. I reported one of the large-and-ever-growing-number of
duplicates to that report :|
