Property editor with GTK-2 and GTK-3 none

Property editor with GTK-2 and GTK-3

I have a property editor with two columns (Name, Value). 
If I click the [+] button to insert a new property, a new line is inserted into the table and in the column "Name" the text "<empty>" is displayed. No cursor is visible, no  field is visually selected.

When blindly typing no visual feedback, but after hitting <tab> the typed text is displayed in column "Name". Same for the column "Value".

After i switched Eclipse to GTK-2 by adding

    --launcher.GTK_version
    2

to my eclipse.ini, everything works as expected.

So looks like a GTK-3 problem.

The attached image shows the editor after clicking the [+] button.

The same kind of problem is described in 531928.
It was fixed for GTK >= 3.20. 

I'm still on GTK 3.18, so I can't verify those fix.
Anyway: Closing as duplicate.
