----------------------------------------
About
, [~akurtakov] told me it's
something he can't reproduce on Fedora neither and that it could be specific to the
GTK version I have on my Ubuntu.
I'll try to make some additional effort to find the root cause, but my first trials
weren't very successful.

We should make sure all SWT issues we met are reported upstream and that we provide the
necessary assistance to SWT developers to make sure everything will be stable for
Luna/GA.
On Linux, most issues can be "hidden" by setting SWT_GTK3=0, but that's
definitely not something we want to rely on for JBDS, as SWT over GTK2 will not be
maintained in future.
