After updating to CDT 9.5 the editor presentation is in a mess, see picture. This effect e.g. occures after hitting the return key. The contentse of the source still is ok only the presentation is wrong.

In version 9.4 there was never such a problem. 

Eclipse is running on Debian GNU/Linux 8, X-Server is mobaxterm.

Looks like an SWT repainting issue. I sometimes see issues similar this on Linux; they tend to be fixed by running with the environment variable SWT_GTK3=0.

RE: 536515

It turns out that having SWT_GTK3=0 was preventing my system from working correctly. Switching that to force GTK3 (SWT_GTK3=1) seems to have solved the problem with display corruption. System details in 536515.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
