Loss of vertical space

I have tried running eclipse-cpp-luna-M6-linux-gtk-x86_64. The icons, tabs, toolbars and menus in this version are significantly larger than previous Eclipse versions. This causes loss of vertical space for my the contents of my editors and views.

For example for the same editor size (about 480 pixels) only 24 lines of code instead of 25 (and a little) lines of code fit when compared to Eclipse Kepler.

In a view, the tab and its toolbar take up 50 pixels vertically instead of 30.

Hopefully the attached screenshot can better demonstrate the problem.

What themes (Preferences > General > Appearance) are enabled in the eclipse instances shown on the screenshot?
What is your linux distribution, version and desktop environment?

My selected theme is GTK, additionally Classic and Dark Theme are available. 
My selected color and font theme is Default, additionally Reduced Palette and Classic Theme are available.

I have tried each combination of the above, with a restart between each, and they all produce (vertical space wise) the same result.

> What is your linux distribution, version and desktop environment?
XUbuntu, 12.04 LTS, XFCE, fully up to date.

I would be happy to try out other OSes if that helps (assuming I can run on LiveCD)

I reproduced your environment (XUbuntu, 12.04 LTS, XFCE, fully up to date, Eclipse 4.4 M6). Eclipse looks good with the modern XFCE styles (e.g. Greybird). The problem occurs with old, classic styles (e.g. Crux, High Contrast).

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.
