Michelle Murray updated JBIDE-16290:
------------------------------------

    Description: 
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=425692 (Import Existing Maven Project)
* -https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=420581-
* -Central tests uses SWT_GTK3=0 in its pom.-
* https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=421127
* https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=425123
Some more minor ones:
* https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=417601
* https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=421834

More submitted:
* https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=431421 - text overspills area and is left as residual (JBIDE-16862)
* https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=431423 - context menu opens away from mouse pointer (JBIDE-16879)
* https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=431425 - too short combo box (JBIDE-16877)
* https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=431426 - shade of blue link text (JBIDE-16861)

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.
