I just decided to try out IDEA after reading glowing reviews for it from various places. The issue is, while it has focus, IDEA simply won't let me click anything on the menu bar, not even the Apple menu. Switching to another app and clicking the menu bar there works fine. All interface elements inside the IDEA window are clickable. Trying to move focus to the menu with Ctrl+Fn+F2 does not work either.
The only plugin that I have installed is the IdeaVim plugin, but the problem persists even after disabling it and switching the keymap to "Mac OS X 10.5+".
I'm trying this on IDEA 11.1 CE, OS X Lion and JDK 1.6. A quick Google didn't turn anything up. Has anyone else encountered this problem, or am I just being stupid and not seeing something right in front of my face?
EDIT: I've tried the usual tricks of switching to another program and back to IDEA, and closing and relaunching it, neither of which makes any difference.
I ran into this issue with IntelliJ 2019.1.1. For anyone else facing the same, make sure the IDE boot jdk is set to the bundled version. To find this, navigate to the actions menu (Cmd + Shift + A), and look for Switch Boot JDK. The selected option should look something like "<VERSION> boot bundled".
Make sure you have all the latest Java updates from Apple installed, Look&Feel in Preferences | Appearance should be Mac OS X.
Also try to rename IDEA config/plugins/system folders to start with all the default settings and see if you can still reproduce it.

When I open the Eclipse IDE the window titles don't show text properly, not all but most texts related to the IDE are jagged and glitchy, anyone knows what might be the issue?
Things I have tried:
Restarted Eclipse multiple times (both closing and opening, and also; File -> Restart)
Changed the fonts
Updated the IDE and everything within it to the latest version:
Version: 2021-03 (4.19.0)
Build id: 20210312-0638
OS: Windows 10, v.10.0, x86_64 / win32
Java version: 15.0.1
Changed the appearance(s)
Changed the encoding(s)
Restarted the computer
Also I'm using the Windows 10, and OS and Drivers are updated to the latest version at the time of posting this problem
I searched in/with Google, Stackoverflow, and other search engines with different wording, and all there was were issues with in-editor text rendering/formatting (As you can see in the picture other texts appear fine, like the project itself)
P.S. I don't have the issue with other IDEs I use; like Android Studio (IntelliJ), although I've seen the same issue on Android Studio which used to get fixed with a simple restart, which later they patched the bug as well, so idk if I'm missing something or not, any help would be appreciated
Ok, I've found a solution or a way around it, I now am pretty sure it is an IDE's bug
It seems to be a problem with the theming option, what I did was changing the themes to see whether it's gonna get fixed or not, and what I missed was I didn't check all the themes! One appears to be fixing the issue and that is the "Classic" theme only, the only one that works currently
Here's where to find it:
Window -> Preferences -> General -> Appearance -> Theme (dropdown menu) -> Classic
Note: Even disabling theming won't fix the problem for some reason, only selecting "Classic" seems to be working at the moment, hopefully they will fix it soon
A while ago, Ctrl+V stopped working in Intellij IDEA. Neither the shortcut nor Edit > Paste works. It's really weird, since "Paste Simple" still works fine, so does Ctrl+C and Ctrl+X.
I've seen a lot of suggestions to solve this problem, but most of them are somehow related to the Vim Emulator for IntelliJ, which I don't use. I tried to play around with the Keymap, but could not get it to work.
I'm using Intellij 2017.2.5 on Windows 10. Maybe I screwed it up myself somehow, but I wish to fix it, because it's really painful to work without Ctrl+V.
You can try alternatives:
Ctrl + Shift + V for Windows or Linux
or
You might try Ctrl+INS for copy and Shift+INS for paste and
see if they work. They are the traditional cut and paste and have been
around a lot longer than Ctrl+c/Ctrl+v
I had the same problem, I regularly reboot so I always have a back-up of my settings. When I reimported them and updated the plugins I could paste again without issues.
Back-up your settings from a working state File>>Manage IDE Settings>>Export Settings and use >> >>Import Settings to apply them.
If you don't have a back-up you can try it, but you might be backing up the problem as well. In that case you will have to reset to defaults and reset the IDE to your liking.
My OS is Ubuntu 18.04, and i had this problem before. An effective solution for my IDE is to set the Keymap to Default, which is file>setting>Keymap.
I'm getting strange results in my Eclipse WindowBuilder whenever I try to run my GUI, the top left area has glitchy text (I don't really know what else to call this problem). I've tried searching everywhere but apparently no one else is getting this problem.
Problems with the image: Display is being displayed as Displa, 'Search' is scrambled.
Problem image:
I've tried creating a new project, tried reinstalling eclipse, deleting all my eclipse metafiles, redownloading WindowBuilder, I even uninstalled Java JDK and Java from my computer and reinstalled it.
I'm running
Windows 7 Ultimate Service pack 1 64bit.
Java 8 Update 25 (64-bit).
Java SE Development Kit Update 25 (64-bit).
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
Version: Luna Service Release 1 (4.4.1)
Build id: 20140925-1800
Here is my using WindowBuilder process to give you guys an insight, as I maybe doing something wrong:
Create a new project, creating new application window under WindowBuilder. Go to design, add JTabbedPane in the center, and then add JPanel(s), apply GridBagLayout under all of my tabs and then add regardless of what element I put, the first element is always affected by this glitch and so are the tabs themselves affected.
I've tried supplied all the information I can please ask me if you want to know more to try to help me figure out what is wrong.
My layout of GridBagLayout:
Other notes:
I've also noticed that even after clean and fresh installs sometimes or often whenever I add a new element to my GUI after reopening or anything I get a big error and have to spam "Reparse" button a few times before I can go back to editing.
UPDATE:
I also noticed if I type anything in the text fields it will glitch out and I won't be able to see what I'm typing.
Same problem, got it after I downloaded and installed JavaJDK.
Not sure how to fix it other then just try to resize the window a few times, and you might be able to see what it says. Also I by browser doesn't detect my java install.
EDIT:
I found this:
Swing rendering appears broken in JDK 1.8, correct in JDK 1.7
I did what the best answer said and it worked :) And yes, indeed I have NVIDIA GeForce driver and java 8 installed (that is why).
I am from norway so the text is as well... Just try to click on what I have clicked on :)

I never got to updating this question with an answer, the solution was running Eclipse using the Nvidia Graphics card rather than Integrated.
My Eclipse installation has been giving me greif today. After corrupting my Android project to where it would not build any more I was forced to reinstall both eclipse and re-create my project from Scratch.
However, eclipse is still acting oddly. When I press the green Run button in the tool bar quite often it appears to do nothing. No dialog, no progress indicators, no output on the console. If I leave it for a bit and/or hammer the run button constantly, eventually it runs.
What is going on. Have I ticked a 'Run in Background' check box somewhere by mistake. If and even if not, how can I re-configure eclipse to be just a little more responsive again.
EDIT: Turns out in the project settings Eclipse had enabled XML validation for every type of check, this has sped things up a little. However, it's still far from as it was when working well. My guess is there are a number of esoteric lesser used settings enabled somehow. I would still like to know how not to have the Run progress in the background.
Check if disabling Project > Build Automatically and optimizing memory settings in eclipse.ini works.
I have the same problem, sometimes it works and sometimes not. My solution when it happens just click right button on your project in Package Explorer -> Run As -> Android application.
The GUI for managing plugins in Eclipse got a bit of an overhaul in version 3.4.0.
This GUI is accessed via the "Software Updates..." option in the Help menu.
The option to remove the selected Mylyn plugin is greyed out. In fact, this is true of virtually every installed plugin. I know that the Mylyn plugins are optional, so why amn't I provided with an option to remove them?
The following text is quoted from the Eclipse help docs:
The Uninstall wizard allows you to review and uninstall items in your configuration. This wizard is shown when you select items and press Uninstall... from the Installed Software page. To uninstall software from your system:
Click Help > About and then click Installation Details... to open a dialog showing pages that provide more detail about your installation.
Click the Installed Software tab to see a list of the software items that you have installed into your system.
Select the items that you wish to uninstall.
Click Uninstall...
The Uninstall Details page will show you a list of the items that will be uninstalled. Expanding each item will show what additional items (if any) will be uninstalled as a result of your choice.
If you change your mind about which items should be uninstalled, you may click Back to see a checkmark list of the items you selected before. You may check and uncheck different items in the list, and click Next when you are ready to continue.
Click Finish to start the uninstall.
Once all of the software is uninstalled successfully, you will be prompted to restart for the Workbench. Click Yes when asked to exit and restart the Workbench for the changes to take effect.
And just to update it for Helios - Eclipse 3.6
Help->Install New Software at the bottom of dialog there is link What is already installed once you click on that you will get list of installed plugins and Uninstal... button
eclipse 3.5(Galieo)
Help>> Install New Software >> Already Installed Plugins >> select Plugins >> Uninstall works charm.
There are distributions of Eclipse that come packaged with certain plugins that can't be mix-and-matched. That is the case with Mylyn, that went from a student's thesis project to an integral part of Eclipse. If you want to actually get rid of Mylyn, you may want to install Eclipse classic instead of the distribution you have, and then install the stuff you need.
The standard Eclipse distributions come with Myln.
BTW, Eclipser 3.5 completely changes all these screens :(
If you are using Windows, make sure you are running Eclipse as administrator. Without administrator privileges, some options may be grayed-out in "Installed Software".
In eclipse Helios (version 3.6), to uninstall a plugin:
Go to Help->Install New Software...
Click on "What is already installed?" link at the bottom right side of the dialog
In the Installed Software tab choose the software you want to uninstall
Click on the "Uninstall..." button at the bottom
Click 'Finish' on the Uninstall Details dialog
Observe the 'Uninstalling Software %' status at the bottom status bar of eclipse
Click 'Restart Now' when prompted to do so.
Eclipse restarts. Choose the workspace. Now when you go again to the Installed Software window , you do not find the uninstalled software.
In Eclipse 3.6 Helios, the interface has changed again. Go to "About Eclipse", and then click the "Installation Details" button in the about box.
While Help → About Eclipse IDE [or wherever it was in the past or will be in the future] → Installation Details → Installed Software → Uninstall... is the official and preferred way there are features/plugins the latter button of which is disabled.
Remember also that there aren't only plugins but features too. In my case I wanted to remove Mylyn and Wild Web Developer from a rather fresh Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers package. I did the following.
But first a:
DISCLAIMER
Enter ECLIPSE_HOME at your own risk. Mistakes like typos might be in the following, too. I take no responsibility for whatsoever.
Created the directories features.DISABLED and plugins.DISABLED in Eclipse's home dir.
Moved *mylyn* from ECLIPSE_HOME/features to ECLIPSE_HOME/features.DISABLED
Moved *wildwebdeveloper* from ECLIPSE_HOME/features to ECLIPSE_HOME/features.DISABLED
Moved *mylyn* from ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins to ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins.DISABLED
Moved *wildwebdeveloper* from ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins to ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins.DISABLED
After starting Eclipse there were about a dozen "not found" errors in Eclipse's Error Log view. If you double-click on each of them you can see which dependency plugin JAR(s) haven't been found.
Set the Error Log view's filter to just display errors and warnings.
Moved the dependency plugin *.jars mentioned in the errors from ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins.DISABLED back to ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins one by one (with Eclipse restart after each) until no "not found" error appeared in the view any longer. It were nine *mylyn*.jars in the end.:
*.mylyn.commons.core_*
*.mylyn.commons.net_*
*.mylyn.commons.notifications.core_*
*.mylyn.commons.notifications.ui_*
*.mylyn.commons.screenshots.ui_*
*.mylyn.commons.ui_*
*.mylyn.commons.workbench_*
*.mylyn.commons.wikitext.markdown_*
*.mylyn.commons.wikitext.*
Note that this applies to a rather fresh Eclipse 2021-03 (4.19.0) installation. It might be different from one – even patch – version to the other.
Furthermore:
Keep Eclipse's Error Log view open for a while. The underlying OSGi activates bundles (plugins) on the fly if they are referenced from an other bundle (plugin) for the first time. And if one isn't there then...
Check the Error Log view especially after installing new features/plugins. They might rely on plugins/JARs you moved to .DISABLED. If that's the case move the according JAR(s) back to ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins and/or ECLIPSE_HOME/features.
If something doesn't work as it did in the past once in the future remember what you did and ... → Error Log view.
I'm running (a relatively fresh copy of) 3.4.1. I was able to select the same plug-in shown in your screen shot (Mylyn Bridge: Java Development) to get an enabled "Uninstall..." button. I'd suggest getting the latest updates and trying again.
It sure looks like there's no way to do this.
I just had exactly this problem with a fresh download of the Eclipse Java IDE (Ganymede SR2). I didn't want Mylyn, but I didn't want "Eclipse Classic", either, because the download was twice the size, I presume because it includes source.
The apparent solution was to update everything and restart Eclipse, after which the "Uninstall..." button became enabled for the Mylyn plugins. Unfortunately, this only uninstalled the most recent, updated version (3.0.11 IIRC), reverting to the un-uninstallable 3.0.5.
I just don't know what the hell these Eclipse developers are thinking! Removing plug-ins from Eclipse became a pain in the ass since Helios!
I hear you pal... I just went through the whole day trying to figure out as no one seems to give an straight answer like "do this, that, done."
Man I'd rather be programming instead....
Found, in the middle of my evening that it is possible to uninstall pretty much everything. The issue is that the damn thing is hidden in the "HELP->ABOUT". Who would guess after going over and over through the "Help->Install New Software" or "Help->Check for updates" and never finding anything like "remove" or "reinstall" or "force reinstall".
Seriouly, I'd rather go back to 1990 when we had Microsoft, Borland and Watcom.. you picked your platform and you'd be with 1/3 of the world of developers with you.. ok, perhaps Watcom didn't hit that mark but you get the point.
So... to uninstall any plugin from Eclipse Helios (Service Release 1) or Springsource 3.5.2 (or 3.6.1 I 'm using), do this:
close all your projects (just to be on the safe side);
Hit menu "HELP-->ABOUT" (yeah.. help, about);
Hit "Installation Details" button and you get the list with all plugins;
Click on the one you want to remove; hit uninstall;
If want to remove more than one, just apply the change without restart;
Goto to 4) as needed
Finally, restart Eclipse and reinstall what you need !
It was hard to find, but it worked very well for me.
