Problems with Eclipse buttons in Ubuntu 9.10

Submitted by litrik on Fri, 30/10/2009 - 14:44

After upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) some buttons no longer work in Eclipse 3.5. Clicking has no effect but keyboard shortcuts still work.

It looks like Eclipse is doing some ~~nasty stuff~~ advanced hacking in SWT on GTK. This bug is fixed in 3.6M2 but you can work around the issue in Eclipse 3.5 by launching Eclipse through the following small shell script (assuming Eclipse is installed in /opt/eclipse-3.5):

#!/bin/sh
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
/opt/eclipse-3.5/eclipse

I, along with my many colleagues are facing the same problem.

This work around solves the problem for most cases but there are still instances where clicks on buttons do not work.

I guess it was a good idea for me to wait to upgrade! This little bug just confirms my wait to upgrade until all the little bugs are found and fixed.

Using the "New wave" theme

Submitted by Lari H on Fri, 06/11/2009 - 13:51

Using the "New wave" theme also causes problems. Seems to be this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/411941 . Easy to reproduce: make a seach with a lot of results and expand all of the tree nodes by pressing the expand all button. Workaround: just use some other theme than "New wave"
