11.2RC1
I just downloaded the newest Eclipse, just to be sure, but I had the same problem with some older version.
Start Eclipse, and for example try to create a new project. Enter the project’s name and click Next. The button recognizes that it’s being clicked (e.g. gets focus, changes color etc) but nothing happens. Pressing enter works (as the button has focus now). The same thing happens on the next screen with the Finish button.
Can anyone confirm this behaviour?

Yes, same here. Luckily, the keyboard accelerators (Alt+…) still work 
I also noticed that the “Install new software…” dialog would sometimes
not show any contents. Switching off compositing effects seems to help here.
Hm, I just succeeded to reproduce the problem with the desktop effects turned off, so I guess it’s not related to compositing.
I bet on gtk-qt link 
It may be this one: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=288909
There GTK 2.17 is the culprit.

Same problem here, no Effects enabled. Its very annoying and need to be
fixed asap. If its GTK related, I hoping even more that there will be a
QT port for swt.
Ah… This looks really bad, almost a showstopper for me.
I have similar problems with Lotus Notes (Eclipse RCP based).
I’ll file a bug report for opensuse.

Could you please post the link to the bugreport after you could do it.
I agree that this is a showstopper. Its almost impossible to work like this.
same here… (same problem in Aptana) on RC1
Here’s the bug repport:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=549849
Please join the discussion, as this is really important issue.
I use aptana and have had this problem in ubuntu 9.10, opensuse 11.2 and fedora 12… For me it’s a showstopper since i use aptana daily, but hopefully this will be fixed. However you can also just select the button and press enter and it will work.
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
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.
Cheers
same problem…
same problem
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.
I am using KDE, not Gnome?
