Description Patrick Holthuizen CLA 2011-06-24 13:43:51 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20110615-0604

At 'random' moments hoover windows leave garbage in the editor screen. The screen gets painted correctly after scrolling the section away from the screen or by editing the corresponding line. See the attached screen shots for examples.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. edit java source code
2. create a popup / hoover window (e.g. content assist, javadoc)
3. leave the popup and continue editing, the popup is not completely gone.

Ugly. Is there anything special in the way your display is set up (e.g. VNC or another remote desktop access method)?

I've never seen that on Windows. Moving to SWT.
Comment 5 Patrick Holthuizen CLA 2011-06-24 14:42:48 EDT 
No nothing special. Just a desktop computer. Debian Squeeze as OS.
Comment 6 Silenio Quarti CLA 2011-10-24 23:27:52 EDT 
What version of gtk do you have installed?

> What version of gtk do you have installed?

GTK+ 2.20 (debian squeeze)
Comment 8 Patrick Holthuizen CLA 2012-07-01 15:23:29 EDT 
problem still there in Juno release.
Comment 9 Patrick Holthuizen CLA 2013-01-03 15:38:21 EST 
Problem is not present with GTK+ 2.24.10 (debian wheezy).

I am not sure if Eclipse also uses GTK+ 3 features but the GTK+ 3 version I have is 3.4.2.
Comment 10 Aleksander Bandelj CLA 2013-11-27 06:36:01 EST 
FWIW, problems disappeared after upgrading graphic driver (intel) on Linux GTK+. Might not be GTK+ or Eclipse related.

Thanks for the update! I will go ahead and close the bug as NOT_ECLIPSE (it can be reopened if necessary).
