Description Hamed Mohammadi

When in full screen opening preference page the dialog is not visible and main IDE is unreachable. I use Debian Jessie and Gnome.

And I could not exit from full screen.

When activating "Full Screen", dialogues get displayed behind the main IDE window and get the keyboard focus! The main window get locked; you cannot see the dialog and you cannot interact with the main IDE.

You can still blindly interact with the dialog unless click on the main window. But if you click on the main window, the dialog losses the keyboard focus and Eclipse gets totally locked.  

When I work on dual display, I can move the main window to the other screen (using Ctrl-Super-[left|right]Arrow) and use/exit the dialog. On a single monitor, the only way out is to kill the Eclipse process.

I have this problem on both CentOS 7 and Fedora 24.
