Neon: Run/Debug toolbar disappears [message #1751250]

I just installed Eclipse Neon on Ubuntu 16.10. On first run the run/debug toolbar appeared in the C/C++ perspective in the upper right. One second and subsequent runs it is not there in either C/C++ perspective or Debug perspective.

I have found that if I exit Eclipse, delete workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi and run Eclipse again the toolbar wil reappear. However on exiting workbench.xmi is created and in future runs the toolbar is missing.

If I try "Customize Perspective" in an effort to get the toolbar to appear again, I get a Java error:

Unhandled event loop exception
java.lang.StackOverflowError

Help. I can't keep deleting workspace.xmi between runs.

You could try turning off GTK3 to see if it is a GTK3 or GTK2 bug, add --launcher.GTK_version 2 to your eclipse command line, e.g.:

/path/to/eclipse-neon/eclipse --launcher.GTK_version 3

Can you post a screenshot of when the toolbar appears in the wrong place, that may give me a clue as to what is going wrong too.

Can you post the contents of your log file (workspace/.metadata/.log)? Hopefully the explanation of the SOE is in there?

The problem only happens with GTK 3. GTK2 is okay except that only the top part of the icons is drawn until you run the pointer over them. This image shows this weird initial state.
index.php/fa/28051/0/

Here is a screenshot when running with GTK 3 and workspace.xmi does not exist. Be sure to look at the right hand side of the image.
index.php/fa/28052/0/

Here is a shot when workspace.xmi exists.
index.php/fa/28053/0/

When I run Eclipse from the command line and it is using GTK 3 I get a long stream of this message

(Eclipse:4384): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_base64_encode_step: assertion 'in != NULL' failed

I'll get back to you about the log file. I have to run Eclipse again and generate the SOE.

.metadata/.log from after the SOE is attached. The SOE too only happens with GTK 3.

That output is down to a GTK bug/incompatibility. I had that too with Greybird theme, changing to Adwaita theme cleared it up. It happens because the corresponding CSS files in Ubuntu are not parsed cleanly by GTK3. For me it didn't happen with 16.04, but did with 16.10.

I can't reproduce the main problem at the moment, possibly because I am using XUbunutu with XFCE and not normal Ubuntu.

There is a bug report: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=506189 which indicates that the problem you are facing may be the theme too even for your additional problems. Can you try the Adwaita theme, its in the gnome-themes-standard package.

All the problems disappear when using the Adwaita theme.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=506189 is indeed this problem. My searches prior to starting this thread failed to find it.

Thanks for the help. I hope the problem will be fixed soon as I'm not sure I like Adwaita.
