Description Murat KURT CLA 2019-05-11 01:06:17 EDT
When built-in terminal window is active, menus can not be opened. Neither mouse nor shortcuts work. It seems like built-in terminal steals focus and menus are closed right away so effectively they can not be opened. Once any other windows is activated and built-in terminal view loses focus, menus can be opened fine.

JDT/Core provides no UI, and in fact I'm not sure, which terminal you're speaking of? Is it the default Console into which Java programs print during execution? Or s.t. you opened explicitly, perhaps from some other plug-in?
Comment 2 Murat KURT CLA 2019-05-11 14:42:21 EDT
I probably did not select the correct product/component while submitting the bug. It is happening on Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. Terminal can be opened from Window -> Show View -> Other then selecting Terminal.
Comment 3 Stephan Herrmann CLA 2019-05-11 15:22:40 EDT
Tried using

Eclipse IDE for Java Developers

Version: 2019-03 (4.11.0)
Build id: 20190314-1200

Window > Show View > Other > "Te" 
only 2 matches:
 - Templates
 - Team Repositories

Please check what additional plug-ins you installed.

If installed the Plug-in Spy (Shift-Alt-F1) will also directly show you which implementation provides the selected view.

Not sure what was causing it but I have installed CodeMix and it has replaced the terminal. Problem is gone. Thanks for looking into it.
