- clean workspace, UI projects loaded from HEAD (likely not relevant)
- Java perspective
- File->New->Project->F1

This immediately causes the menu to be dismissed but in 2.1.1 you got a help 
box with "This is a new command which allows you to create a new item such as 
a resource".

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.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. 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.
