Bug Description

Binary package hint: eclipse

In Eclipse 3.6.2 on Ubuntu Natty, Eclipse is not able to "style" the mouse over tooltips on source code.

Plain text is displayed, no different fonts, no links, nothing. On Maverick everything is okay. I attach a screen shot from natty and one from maverick displaying the same context help.

I found one workaround pretty quickly, using a script again that I did *NOT* use on Maverick!!

#!/bin/sh

# work around e#290395 / LP: #458703
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true

xuldir=/usr/lib/xulrunner-$(/usr/bin/xulrunner-1.9.2 --gre-version)
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$xuldir${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH} /opt/eclipse/eclipse "$@"

Using this GDK-workaround fixes the issue again. But why is that still needed, or better AGAIN needed?

The workaround proposed by Zordid did not worked for me.
The issue seems to be caused because of a missing dependency (xulrunner-1.9.2). Once it is installed, tooltips are perfect to me once again.

You can fix this by running:
sudo apt-get install xulrunner-1.9.2
