I'm using a Sigasi eclipse plug in to program and simulate VHDL through Eclipse. However, at present I'n only using the free version, which supports projects up to a certain size. This size is handily indicated by a provided "codometer" widget in the bottom left hand corner - however, its half hidden and a lot of the time unreadable - see picture!
Despite using the drag bar to move it around - I only ever see half of the number and I can't read it well enough to see how much space I have - is there a setting in Eclipse or Sigasi to fix this ? It doesn't cause any problems itself but has become very irritating!
Thanks,
David
(If anybody else ever has this problem)
Not a complete solution to this (despite spending several hours going through Eclipse settings!), but as an intermediary, I found by chance that if you hover your mouse over the partially displayed widget it gives a breakdown of how much space you have used out of your 32kB project size limit - as shown below.

I've spent some time already searching for an answer. I know that I can increase the text size in an open file, but is there any way to increase the overall UI scaling? I have a large monitor so I can utilize multiple applications in my workflow, but the size of the application text and icons is so small that it's totally unusable.
Here is a comparison between Eclipse on the left and IntelliJ on the right on my screen:
I scaled IntelliJ on the right to be the perfect size, easily, but Eclipse on the left is way too small to effectively work with it.
I've tried removing a line indicating small text in the eclipse.ini file but that didn't change anything.
Given how poorly my search has turned up already, I assume the answer is 'no'. This leads me to ask, how is this possible? How can such a sophisticated and popular application not be able to change the UI scaling? I feel as though there must actually be a reasonable explanation because this is just plain absurd. This can't be passed off as a legitimate piece of software in this day and age without flexibility on screen size.
Thank you.
EDIT: *
I'm still unable to update the size of the UI icons. I've searched through numerous other issues going through the "-Dswt.autoScale=200" options in the elipse.ini setting but this is not working on Mac. Anyone able to assist here? Thank you!
The "Tree and Table font for views" setting in the "General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts" page of the Preferences sets the size of Project Explorer view. That entry is in the "View and Editor Folders" section.
Icons are only scaled if the display is set up as scaled by x2 or x1.5.
There's a little column to the right of your code window which shows all of your code at a huge glance. It's kinda handy to click to jump to a certain portion if you have a large file....ultimately, especially when I have 2 windows side by side, it takes up a lot of useful space. Anyways I can remove this? (Having a hard time researching it because I don't even know what it's called)
Okay...I tried some different search terms and found this article.

It's called "minimap".
I have Eclipse 3.7.1 classic, with added Android plugin and HTML editor plugin.
If I have a long line of text in the HTML editor and scroll the horizontal scrollbar to where I want to be, when I place the cursor there and start to type, after a short pause it keeps resets the horizontal scrollbar to the far left. It doesn't do it all the time, but it is frequent enough to be annoying.
Why is Eclipse doing this, and how can I stop it?
Not really an answer but I have the same Problem since yesterday. I don't know the cause or any solution but ende up splitting all my lengthy strings using either "\" or "+". That "fixed" the problem and resulted and better readability of the code.
Good Day

In my case this started happening after installing the Coffee Bytes Java Folding extension/plugin, and eventually it just annoyed me so much I turned it off...and the scroll jumping stopped.
It was a shame because I wanted folding of 'Regions' like in .Net and that extension gave me that ability. I've not looked for an alternative yet, but anyway I'm rambling - see if you have this extension enabled under Preferences > Java > Editor > Folding.
When this happens to me, the problem is that I'm not steady enough in my line selection. So I'll briefly be selecting two lines of input. And when the other line of input is shorter or even empty, it resets to the rightmost edge of that line (which if empty is the far left). Being very careful when moving horizontally can work but is difficult to maintain. Perhaps turning down the mouse sensitivity would help.
Searching for "eclipse line wrap" found that Alt Shift Y turns line wrap on and off. There also seems to be a button on the toolbar. See Does Eclipse have line-wrap for more details.
As others have noted, changing so that the lines aren't wider than the window also fixes this. But when you're in a situation where someone else sets the line length, toggling line wrap can be a quick and easy solution to this problem.
This of course assumes that you are having the same problem as me and not something caused by a plugin or other issue.
I have been experiencing a strange issue in Flex Builder 3 where certain dialogs such as the Add New Project wizard and the SVN Commit dialog are completely empty save for the title area.
I'm running Flex Builder v3.0 (build 3.02.2.214193) on the Windows 7 RC. I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling Flex Builder to no avail. I don't think it's Windows 7 causing the issues because it was working a couple of months ago with no problems. Even more strange is that I have not installed any additional plugins or made any configuration changes to Flex Builder between the time before these problems began and now.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if so, know of any solutions?
Here are a couple of screenshots to illustrate the behaviour.

You are probably running Logitech SetPoint. Try killing all setpoint processes. (you don't even have to restart flex). It worked for me :-S
According to this Adobe forums post, there are multiple causes:
SetPoint (as indicated by Scheea)
Wacom Tablet drivers
In addition, comments suggest the following:
UltraMon
These seem to suggest that the cause is any program which monitors keystrokes or mouse movement.
Workaround: In the new wizard dialog above, note the question mark on the bottom left (the help button). When you click on the help button a help panel is added to the dialog on the right separated from the main dialog by a splitter. When you drag the splitter the rest of the dialog appears. You may need to scroll to a position where you can see all of its contents, but it should become usable. Resizing the dialog alone was not sufficient for me.
In addition, I couldn't fully use the mouse to select elements so I had to type into the filter field in order for the correct projects to show up.
I had the issue with Window7 x64 Ultimate with FB3 Pro and shutting down Set Point seems to have fixed the issue.
For me it was Set Point and Display Fusion (allows you to set up multiple background images as wallpaper on multiple monitors). Took a lot of hair pulling to figure this out.
I'm using PDT with Eclipse and the Content Assist tooltips (e.g. for class method descriptions) are too small to be useful. Usually, only the first few words are visible. Is there a preference to increase the sizes of these? I have plenty of screen real estate, so I want to make them much larger.
Thanks
Edit: Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology -- I'm talking about the PHPDoc-style tooltips. Here's a screenshot:
Edit 2: Screenshot no longer available.
You should be able to simply grab the pop-up at the lower right corner and drag it larger. It will keep that size the next time it opens (at least it does for me in Eclipse 3.5 and 3.6).
