Debian testing, Gnome and Eclipse [message #492089] Sun, 18 October 2009 14:18 Go to next message

Hi,
since yesterday my eclipse installation is somewhat broken. The system I
use is a debian testing. After the most recent debian package updates,
performed yesterday, which included some gtk updates, eclipse has some
serious user interface issues.

Within some of the settings dialogs the buttons receive the "mouse
pressed" event, but no "mouse released" event. Which results in
clickable but unresponsive buttons.

For instance go into Windows -> preferences, and select the node "web ->
javascript -> include path -> user libraries". Create a new library via
the "New" button. A dialog window pops up. In this dialog window enter a
name for the new library. Then try to click the "OK" button. The button
gets pressed down, but after releasing the mouse button the ok-button
stays pressed down as long as the mouse pointer hovers above this button.

A workaround is to press the space bar after clicking the button. At
least this results in the click getting finished.

I guess some things changed in the way that gtk behaves and since swt
relies on gtk this results in the event handling being broken.

Any ideas?

Yt,

Gunnar

Hello

It's a well known issue with GTK 2.18 (from which the users of the
upcoming Ubuntu 2009.10 stable release will suffer too). The issues
in that area can easily be found using this bugzilla query:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=gtk+2. 18

The bug
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=gtk+2. 18
describes a workaround, but I have no clue whether it really helps.

HTH

Michael
