you can try this workaround :

edit the file /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini,

and add these 2 lines before the line "--launcher.appendVmargs" :

--launcher.GTK_version
2

after this modification it's the version "2" of gtk launcher who will be used, the GUI will be much better, without these weird GUI bugs,
