    text
    copied!<p>Within the past 2 weeks, Eclipse has started behaving oddly. Not sure what changed, although I did install JDK and JRE 7u21.</p> <p>Any dialog (Search, Eclipse About, Switch workspace, etc.) I open by clicking a menu item with my mouse opens twice. One dialog displays directly behind another -- when you're done with one and hit Ok or Close, there's another waiting behind it. If you drag the first one to the side, the other identical dialog is right behind it.</p> <p>Sometimes the fact that two dialogs open disrupts the contents or functionality of one or both of the dialogs. For example, the file filters in the search dialog might be blank for one of the two popups, and neither of the two search windows works.</p> <p>The same dialogs, if opened with keyboard shortcuts (click the Search menu, press F on the keyboard to open the File Search dialog), display only one dialog. No functionality issues with dialogs opened this way.</p> <p>No other program exhibits this behavior.</p> <p>Why is this happening and how do I make it stop?</p> <p>I've searched google and found no clues.</p> <p>Here are things I've tried:</p> <ul> <li>I was using Eclipse 3.8 SR2. I tried creating a new workspace. Same behavior in the clean workspace.</li> <li>I tried launching Eclipse with the -clean option. Startup took much longer, but no change in dialog behavior.</li> <li>I unzipped an old copy of the Eclipse 3.8 SR2 and tried a clean copy of the Eclipse system. Same behavior.</li> <li>I downloaded and switched to Eclipse 4.2 SR2. Started a new workspace. Same behavior.</li> <li>I unplugged my USB mouse and tried using the laptop touchpad alone. Same behavior.</li> <li>I've checked workspace\.metadata\.log, but there are no related entries.</li> </ul>
