hi users
I wonder if anybody is using eclipse neon on rawhide?
I see the fonts all having different, usually smaller sizes in different panes. Mostly so small that almost impossible to read.
Is your eclipse also unusable?
thanks,

Hi,
Although I don't know the reason, the GTK3 backend of SWT is of questionable quality, I recently did some benchmarking and at least for the operations tested it delivered 1/3 of the performance SWT+GTK2 delivered: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=493714 To some degree this is because the code is still quite fresh, on the other hand GTK3's ever-changing interfaces as well as years of development without any continous performance + regression tracking seems to show
You can force SWT to use GTK2 by exporting SWT_GTK3=0, works like a charme on all my systems.
Best regards, Clemens .

I don't mean to be rude, but what has this to do with the subject of this thread?

And as soon as I hit "Send" I notice "eclipse neon" in the subject. My appologies.
