eclipse Photon redraws on keystroke on Ubuntu 18.04 - eclipse

Eclipse Photon appears to be re-rendering the screen on every keystroke and mouse click. This results in a jumpy motion that sees the menu being hidden and the menu bar partly draw.
I have attached an image that shows the effect after the refresh. You can see here that the text menu is not visible and the menu bar is partly shown.
UPDATE:
I have narrowed this behaviour to the constant redraw of the bottom statusbar, as can be seen in the second image.
I have added an additional image that shows the effect when the window is not full screen.

How to undo maximize view in Unity?

Pressing Shift+Space will maximize the view (for example, the Scene, Game or Inspector View) but in order to go back to the previous layout, I need to press a ⋮ in the top right corner and tick off a Maximize option.

Move terminal panel to bottom option gone? (VSCode)

Just updated VSCode to 1.29.0 on macOS 10.12.6 and it looks like this option to move the terminal to the bottom of VSCode (and then back right) is no more. Is that on purpose? Did it move to a specific setting? I was using that feature quite a lot.
Here goes a screenshot:
EDIT:
Can still move by context menu:
EDIT for v1.42 (January 2020 release):
Panel on the left
The panel can now be moved to the left side of the editor with the
setting:
"workbench.panel.defaultLocation": "left"
This removes the command
View: Toggle Panel Position (workbench.action.togglePanelPosition) in
favor of the following new commands:
View: Move Panel Left (workbench.action.positionPanelLeft)
View: Move Panel Right (workbench.action.positionPanelRight)
View: Move Panel To Bottom (workbench.action.positionPanelBottom)
See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_42.md#panel-on-the-left
[Previous answer - see above for later info:]
See release notes on panel position button.
Panel position button to context menu
In order to preserve horizontal space and reduce clutter, we removed
the toggle Panel position button (Move to Right, Move to Bottom) from
the Panel title area. The action is now available in the Panel title
area context menu and also in View > Appearance > Toggle Panel
Position main menu. Another reason for removing this button was that
we believe users set their layout once and don't normally toggle back
and forth.
There is also this setting to "permanently" change the panel location:
workbench.panel.defaultLocation
But to move it on the fly now you use the context menu.
Apparently people just weren't using it enough to warrant the screen space.
Just Click through the following:
View > Appearance > Move Panel Right
If you don't see the panel at the bottom,
View > Appearance > Toggle Panel Position
Now drag and drop the terminal icon from the sidebar (left or right side) to panel bar (bottom)

VSCode Zoom in on .png

Is there a way to zoom in on an image in VSCode (.png in particular)? My repository contains some very small images, and I would like to view them without opening another application. I thought that the FontSize shortcuts plugin might be a workaround, but unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work.
As of VS Code 1.36 it's very easy:
To zoom in, just click on the picture. When the mouse is over it, the cursor becomes a magnifying glass with a small "+".
To zoom out, press Ctrl and click on it. While Ctrl is pressed, the cursor changes to a magnifying glass with a small "-".
Alternatively, the status bar in the lower-right corner displays some info about the picture, and one of the fields shows "100%": it's the current zoom level, just click on it and choose another one.
On my mac OS Mojave, I need to use
press down option + click on the image works if I want to zoom out.

Eclipse Outline view is hiding code

I'm using the Kepler CDT release (4.3.1) of Eclipse. When I click on anything in the Outline view, the corresponding editor view is reduced to showing just that item. If I click on a variable, I get a single line with just that variable. The Edit->Expand Selection options are all dimmed out. Hitting Shift-Alt-Up Arrow just moves me up to the previous item in the outline view. If I change editor tabs and come back then the Expand Selection options enable and I can manually hit Shift-Alt-Up Arrow a number of times to make the entire file visible again but clicking on anything in the outline view again will just reduce the view. Is there some new setting in Kepler that will make outline stop doing this?
Turns out the feature for Show Source of Selected Element Only was turned on. In Kepler the toolbar button for this is not visible. Even searching under quick access doesn't turn it up so it's somewhat of a puzzle how it could have been turned on. I actually thought maybe it had been removed from Kepler.
In the Customize Perspective dialog under the Tool Bar Visibility tab. In the Tool Bar Structure section I opened the area for Editor Presentation. I noticed there was actually a check next to the box for Show Source of Selected Element Only. However, it wasn't visible in the toolbar (a bug I've seen before in Eclipse) so I unchecked it and checked it. Then I exited the dialog. Now the button showed up on the toolbar. I then toggled the feature on and then off. Now clicking in the outline view works correctly.just moves to the correct spot.

Eclipse IDE: smooth scrolling with keyboard PGUP PGDOWN

Window 7.
In the Eclipse IDE, when I PageUp and PageDown, it jumps to the next bit of code without any scroll effect, which discombobulates me. How can I enable scrolling? Is this called smooth scrolling?
It's not just Eclipse.
When you press the Page Up button or the Page Down button in Word, Notepad, or just about any other Windows application, you go to the previous or next section, respectively.
This has been standard Windows behavior since at least Windows XP.
Edited to add:
If you have a mouse wheel, you can get an effect that Microsoft calls smooth scrolling. By rotating the mouse wheel, you can move the Eclipse editor up or down a few lines at a time.
But I don't think I've ever seen the same effect with the Page Up and Page Down buttons.
Try this Eclipse plugin for smooth scrolling. Use middle mouse button, like when you smooth scrolling on internet browser.
