Eclipse IDE does not show all items of dialog boxes - eclipse

When tried to create a new Dynamic Web project in Eclipse Mars, I could not edit/select some items in popped-up window as pictured in the attached file. On some dialog boxes it is even much worse.
As you can see, the display resolution is 1366*768. Any idea how can I fix it?
Thanks.

Eclipse 4.4 Luna: Editor window, "Show List" drop-down alternative text

I just swapped to eclipse Luna (4.4.1) from a previous version and I have a little problem I cant solve.
I don't know why but the class filter in editor window doesn't show the package name of the class you are hovering with the mouse (the alt text). It worked fine in previous versions of eclipse but I cant find any related in preferences.
I dont know if this is the acourate name for this part of the IDE so I show you a pic of what I'm trying to say. EDIT: This is the "Show List" drop-down
EDIT 2: Also happens on eclipse mars (4.5) with a new workspace.
Cant upload images yet
Tranks in advance!

Eclipse Juno - how to make the views minimize when they lose focus?

When I work with eclipse, I like to have my Java editor maximized, and all other views minimized in the trim stack (the area around the edges of the window). This way, I can expand the view only when I need it, by clicking on the view icon.
In previous Eclipse versions, when I finished working with a view, I clicked on another view or the editor so that it lost focus, and that caused it to minimize again. In Juno, it doesn't work - when I click on the editor, the view stays open and is hiding my code. In order to close it, I have to either click the view icon, or click on another program and then return to Eclipse.
Do you have any idea if there is a setting I can change to get the old behavior back?
Thanks!
Edit: Seems like a bug in eclipse.
I am unable to reproduce this problem using Juno SR1. Bug 371598 was fixed and looks like the same problem.

Google AppEngine button has disappeared from Eclipse

I have been using Eclipse to develop for AppEngine, and have always had a handy blue button in the toolbar to use for deployments. Now it's gone, and I don't know how to deploy any more!
I've tried:
Looking for likely options in the "Customize Perspective" dialog... but I'm not sure what to look for
Updating the Google Plugin for Eclipse... but apparently it's already up to date
Unfortunately, I'm not sure what changed in order to cause this. Please help me get my button back!
In your eclipse top menu choose WINDOW --> SHOW VIEW and it should be one of the options. If not, choose OTHER and navigate the dialog till you find it under Google.

How to show the hidden toolbar of Eclipse

Eclipse has a context menu item to hide the entire toolbar of RCP.
Where is the corresponding menu item to show the hidden toolbar?
I know it should be shown if using a new workspace. However I hope find the related feature in the GUI of eclipse.
Use the Window menu, you have a "Show toolbar" option there.
I'm on Mac OS X, and one thing I always forget about is the stupid lozenge button in the upper right corner of the window. I hit this by accident and was going nuts trying to figure out where my toolbar had gone until I (experimentally) hit it again.
I tried one solution here and worked for me. If you can not reset or change something from eclipse GUI, Go to your project folder eg. "Workspace". Delete folder ".metadata". Now open eclipse again and browse "Workspace". Import your projects from the "Workspace". It will reset eclipse to default.
In eclipse oxygen version it is available under
Windows --> Appearance --> Show Toolbar
