If you have any hint about what could cause this issue on the SWT side, make sure you add a comment to an existing Bugzilla or create a new one (and add me ass CC please).

The issue happens because a control can be painted before it is realized.
I am not sure if it is a GTK3 or an SWT issue. Will try to create a simple test and create a bug against Eclipse SWT.

> This ticket is meant to list the bugs related to GTK3 affecting JBDS:
> * JBIDE-16280 VPE/XulRunner crashes workbench
> * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=420581
> * Central tests uses SWT_GTK3=0 in its pom.
> 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.
