Eclipse doesn't accept mouse clicks on buttons

**nmccrina** · 26-Oct-2009, 01:40

I'm actually using Kubuntu, but having the same problems. I found out that if you click the button you want, then click somewhere else on the window and still holding the mouse button down drag it back over the menu button and release it, the button works. Obviously it's still a bug, but it's better than using <enter> all the time.

Actually, this was listed as bug #291257 at eclipse, and it turns out that if you set an environment variable like so

Code:

export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true

and then run eclipse it "fixes" the problem.

Thanks for the tip, it really fixes the problem! A simple wrapper script is, obviously and unfortunatelly, way to go.

Hi,

I still can reproduce it with 11.2 Final.
In the bug report however the last post is "Fixed by sr#23385". What is sr#23385?

Regards,

Roman

I'm not quite sure but it sounds like this refers to a specific SVN or CVS commit that will be included in the next SR (Service Release) which is 3.5.2

I still have problems with controls like drop-downs being disabled and not being enabled or editable, for example: adding a SVN repository screen's drop-down is unusable.
Any suggestions to get this working?

Hi all,

the problem is not Eclipse or Gnome 2.28. I thinks it is a combination of Gnome 2.28 + Compiz + Nvidia. Other users have reported problems in flashplayer also (example youtube play/stop controls) and the solution is the same:

Try to disable compiz effects using:

simple-ccsm

All problems have gone.
