Eclipse menu won't open in Ubuntu 13.10 (beta1)

[john ferrier]

I am using Eclipse-CDT (Kepler Linux 64bit) for some development and it worked perfectly on Ubuntu 13.04 X86_64.

However, after upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10 (beta 1) yesterday I found I could not have Eclipse menus (located on Unity's top-panel ) droped down. I also tried to download a new copy of Eclipse but it was the same.

It looks like something wrong in 13.10.

I have the same issue on Ubuntu 13.10. It doesn't work for the latest version of Eclipse as well.
