I'm having one issue on Mac OS X El Capitan with Eclipse Mars and menu windows. When a menu window opens a new window, it shows in the back of the first one, and moves along with it (if I move the first one, the second one moves with it, but not the other way around). So there are two possible scenarios. If the second window shows a bit (like in this image), you still can move it and then interact with it, but if the second window is totally hidden (like this one when clicking 'Advanced'), then there's nothing you can do, since it seems impossible to put it on top. Is this a known bug or is there a solution for it?
Eclipse bug 478975 is open for this problem.
The problem only occurs when Eclipse (or any Eclipse RCP) is in full-screen mode. It works normally when not full-screen.
Update: A fix for this bug is included in Eclipse Neon (4.6) Release Candidate 3.

I use Eclipse Neon under Windows 10.
I installed a plugin (MonjaDB) using Eclipse Market Place. As I didn't find the plugin to be very useful I uninstalled it using Help->About->Installation Details->Installed Software->Uninstall. Sadly, however, this didn't seem to fully remove the plugin.
I now have a small red square on the right hand side of my workspace in the shortcut toolbar. This cannot be removed using the close option. I went so far as to remove my installation of Eclipse and the .eclipse directory in my home area but after a reinstall the square is still there.
Presumably this means that it is somehow associated with the project in my workspace?? Does anyone have any ideas how to remove this annoying square?
EDIT:
I have noticed two things
The MonjaDB perspective is hanging around somehow and
If I press the little red square on the right it opens an empty tab in the tab set to the right (where mylyn sits) with the title of DB Tree but I cannot remove it.
I have added three screen shots
MonjaDb perspective Partly Active
It seems like your current perspective is the one that was uninstalled. Just try opening a new one via the Open Perspective toolbar button that's close to thevred square, and then you can try right-click > Close on the red square.
At least a part of this is intentional...when the implementation class of a view no longer exists we leave the view 'open' but are supposed to show an "Error Part'. The reason to leave it up is to handle cases where a user has installed a new eclipse and opens his old workspace before installing the extensions. If we were to remove the views the user would have to set up their perspectives again once they had installed the extension.
Note that resetting the perspective won't work because the class implementing IPespectiveFactory no longer exists.
Closing the perspective and opening a new, different, one should work. If the perspective you open has visible views that are no longer available you should just close them.
Something quite strange has happened: The whole Eclipse main window disappeared while I was debugging a Play Framework project. The Eclipse symbol in the applications bar still shows up as usual (from where I still can force Eclipse to quit).
My System (Ubuntu 14.04.) still behaves as if Eclipse was there, e. g. other applications get unfocused when choosing Eclipse in the applications bar. Meanwhile I have re-started Eclipse (that didn't help) and even re-started Ubuntu (still the same behaviour).
When I start Eclipse the workspace selection window shows regularly up. If I select another workspace, it also shows up regularly (I have created a second one to test that). Eclipse even still reacts properly on any shortcut as well as well as F10 & F11. It seems like the Eclipse main application window was "transparent". Therefore I assume that it is a problem of Eclipse resp. its workspace rather than an Ubuntu problem.
Does anybody have an idea where to maybe re-configure the workspace? Or is there even a secret function for all that?
Thanks a lot!!
Meanwhile I was able to re-get the window: I clicked on a shadow effect that sometimes showed up. I resized that shadow with my mouse. As an effect the Eclipse window top bar (the one above the menu) showed up again. Afterwards I could "pull out" the window from the bar - and there it all was again... But I have still no idea, how that happened - and what might be the solution if someone runs into that issue without having a shadow.
I have a weird problem on my MacBook Air. When I want to switch workspace in Eclipse and go File->Switch Workspace and choose one of the recent ones. My first click seldom "takes" so have to repeat the procedure twice for the switch to occur.
This is especially true if I have been doing som work in the workspace. If I just open one and immediately switch, it usually works fine.
Is anybody else experiencing this and/or know if there is something to do about it?
[Edit]
Having played around a little it seems to be when I have Eclipse in full screen mode.
I'm on OS X 10.8.2 using Eclipse 4.2.1
Basically I have multiple monitors for development with Eclipse. I detach some of the windows such as the "Console" view so that I can have it fill my monitor. This is great as I can fill up my screens.
However in some cases I also want to have my browser in front while I'm coding since there's some documentation I need to look at. I can't figure out how to do this without creating another perspective...
You can open a new window (Window|New Window) and drag your views into this window instead of detaching them. New windows are not connected with the main one and you can control their visibility as you wish.
The answer appears to be that you can't...
In Eclipse Luna I had the problem that floating windows were not coming up while setting the focus on the main IDE window. It happened after I changed from 32 to 64bit using the same workspace. The windows were opened and closed correctly.
What solved the problem was reintegrating the floating windows into the main IDE window and recreated floating windows again.
Dear RubyMine Overflowers,
I downloaded the latest version of RubyMine (3.2.1) on a Mac running SL 10.6.8 and latest apple provided Java.
I am experiencing some problematic behavior regarding the mouse right-click.
I can bring up contextual menus only by double right-clicking. if I single right-click, the menu comes up very instantly and disappears.
After some experimentation, I have concluded that if I right-click and manage to keep the mouse pointer at the exact pixel as before r-clicking, contextual menu disappears. If the pixel before right-click is different than the one after r-click the Contextual menu stays. (Imagine the chaos when this applies to the Project window: i get constant warnings of moving files).
Anybody experiencing such funny stuff in RubyMine? or otherwise, any way to change mouse pointer sensitivity?
Many thanks...
Petros
There is similar issue, but it's known to affect only Linux users with Eclipse keymap:
Intellij right click context menu problems in Ubuntu.
I can't reproduce it on Mac, but the question above is worth checking, maybe the suggested workaround will work for you.
