Eclipse's popups randomly change size and position after upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04

After I updated from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, the popup windows of Eclipse's inspect wizard (the ones that popup on hover) started randomly changing sizes and positions. Most of the time they are so small it's impossible to read them and I always need to resize them manually. Other times they are in out of reach locations near the end of the screen.



What have I done so far?



I though it's because I have an old Eclipse that is not adapted to Gnome yet so I installed completely new Eclipse Photon using



https://snapcraft.io/eclipse



but it didn't help. Then I thought that maybe my Eclipse workspace is corrupted so I created completely new one and it didn't help. I'm not sure if this is Ubuntu related thing or Eclipse related thing but since it happened after upgrade to 18.04 I thought I will ask here.



Other infos



I'm using:




  • Ubuntu 18.04.1


  • Eclipse Photon Release (4.8.0)



I didn't change the eclipse.ini file but here it is if it helps



-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.5.0.v20180512-1130.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.700.v20180518-1200
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product
-showsplash
org.eclipse.epp.package.common
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8
-Dosgi.instance.area.default=@user.home/eclipse-workspace
-XX:+UseG1GC
-XX:+UseStringDeduplication
--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8
-Dosgi.dataAreaRequiresExplicitInit=true
-Xms256m
-Xmx1024m
--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM


Update: I have tried to add GTK version to eclipse.ini file but it didn't help



--launcher.GTK_version 2


Examples



Here are the photos of how it looks like (sorry for the quality, I didn't figure out how to take screenshot of a popup)



Here is a popup being too small (and also in wrong location)
Popup too small



Here is a popup after I resized it

Here is a popup being in completely wrong location (top of the screen)
Pop up out of reach
