Bug Description

Binary package hint: eclipse

I' m using eclipse 3.5 with Ubuntu 11.04 and I have this problem that is a really annoying problem for a developer that uses eclipse in ubuntu for 10 hours a day.. :)

when you inspect a variable leaving for some time the mouse pointer over it, the content assist popup shows up small and it is not resizable; if I inspect the variable with Ctrl-Shift-I, the windows is shown bigger and it's resizable.

this is a weird behaviour that forces everyone to do Ctrl-Shift-I every time they want to inspect a variable; there is a bug about it between the eclipse bugs:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23980

this bug is solved in eclipse 3.6; I suggest to update eclipse packages, if not for Natty, for Oneiric at least.
I should note also that this bug doesn't happen on Windows, even with eclipse 3.4.
