Eclipse menus don’t show up after upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10

by

The same question has been answered on askubuntu:

Eclipse menus are cut off or don’t show

I might have found a possible solution for your problem. I have experienced the same issue as you have described, Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit Unity, Eclipse 4.3.0, menus were not visible.

So I realise that it might be helpful if I clarify myself, the desktop shortcut file for Eclipse would contain something like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=4.3.0
Name=Eclipse
Comment=IDE for all seasons
#Exec=/home/USERNAME/Dokument/eclipse/eclipse
Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 /home/USERNAME/Dokument/eclipse/eclipse
Icon=/home/USERNAME/Dokument/eclipse/icon.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;Application

The row Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 /home/USERNAME/Dokument/eclipse/eclipse, part referenced in the post I pointed to, is the one that makes menus visible, et voila! 🙂

In my case this file (eclipse.desktop) resides in /usr/share/applications/

Hope this helps.
