Description
James Lang
Lakshmi, please have this investigated, thanks. Arun, can you please investigate this? Appreciate the fact that Linux is usually bottom of the barrel in terms of priority, but can someone please chime in as to a possible ETA for getting this fixed? Makes Eclipse a horrible user experience since dragging tabs is not an uncommon event, so one is subject to painful jarring visual display on a regular basis. IntelliJ generally looks hideous on Linux but at least the UI stays intact across window events. I have been trying to reproduce this bug for a while now but without any success. I tried with Eclipse Luna (4.4) M3 and M4 builds on Ubuntu Linux 12.04 and the tab dragging works properly for me across the entire workbench. There is a bit of a black flash on the screen sometimes for a split second but that goes away immediately. I'm not sure if that is the problem you're seeing because the screenshot you attached seems to have a totally messed up workbench. Can you also please provide the exact versions of Linux, GTK and Eclipse you're using, and if possible, test with the latest (4.4 M4) build? Thanks! Just tried 4.4-M4 today, bug is actually much, much worse with the now GTK3 default. Basically the GUIs of visable application windows in each of my 3 monitors goes haywire when attempting to drag a tab in Eclipse 4.4, whereas in 4.3.1 with the GTK2 default "only" the Eclipse window gets distorted, and even then it's nothing compared to 4.4 distortion as you have no idea where the tab is being dragged to, nor the layout (horizontal or vertical) that will result once the tab has been dropped, yikes. Will switch to VIM if that's what I have to look forward to ;-) Unfortunately I upgraded to 4.4 instead of doing a clean test install so have hosed my previous 4.3.1 install, which was working just fine outside of this bug. Wasted the entire morning getting a fresh install of Eclipse 4.3.1 in place, doh, 2014 is looking stellar. On the plus side Kepler and Luna are worlds better than Juno, and Luna is surprisingly snappy out of the box, the potential is certainly there. Eclipse screen flashes when moving tab. White screen strobes. When this occurring, an X-Windows icon mysteriously appears in the mouse location over the flashing interface screen. Running under the Kubuntu 12.04 : uname -a : Linux epsilon-laptop-kubuntu 3.2.0-67-generic #101-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 17:46:11 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux. We use the -vm /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0_65/bin/java. Another report of this behaviour here. Some more info which might help. I'm on a Lenovo laptop running Linux Mint 17, with MATE environment. External monitor is attached but the same behaviour is exhibited even if I remove it. Problem seems to effect Luna only since I used Kepler previously without issue. Effect looks like extreme whole-multi-screen redraw activity since it affects both monitors not just the Eclipse window itself. I have the setting "export GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1" in the environment to get mouse wheel scrolling to work. Anything that I can do to diagnose this problem? It really is rather awful. So, this affects 4.4.1 as well, though slightly less hideous; at least now the damage is limited to a single display (i.e. same issue as with Kepler). In full-screen mode I am unable to drag tabs into a grid, however, so have to leave full screen in order to drag tabs into (hopefully) desired horizontal or vertical layout. Extremely haphazard and unreliable the tab dragging behavior is, going to stick with Kepler for the time being...and wait for some future time when the Linux Lua tab dragging bug gets sorted. Luna looks great though, and startup time is definitely blazing compared to Kepler... Quick update: with a multi-monitor setup tab drag/drop is completely broken (as in, not only does the UI distort badly, but dropping straight up does not work at all); HOWEVER, if one moves Eclipse to the primary monitor, then dragging, somehow works perfectly ;-) Running: Luna 4.4.2 Fedora 21, kernel 4.0.4-201 Nvidia 346.72-2 Hope this helps someone... Works quite ok on Fedora 21 with Gtk3.14. Also works ok on Fedora 22 with Gtk3.16. Is this an Ubuntu thing? Getting same issue here running eclipse mars on ubuntu-gnome 15.04. While I click and drag tabs, the entire screen turns black (not just the eclipse window). Also happens on Fedora 21 GNOME Shell 3.14.3 when clicking and dragging one of the windows entire screen goes black I'm experiencing the same problem in Ubuntu while using the Gnome Shell. The problem goes away if I set SWT_GTK3=0, but doing that doesn't work well with the global dark theme. I'm using: - Eclipse 4.5 - Ubuntu 15.04 I recall this being an issue on my machine. But with latest builds it doesn't occur anymore: M20160629-1300 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 -- 13:00 (-0400) I'm on Fedora 24 with Gtk 3.20. Does the issue occur for anyone with newest builds? Still happens on Wayland but there is another bug open for that. On X11 this is fixed with bug 498217. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 498217 *** |
