Heya Adam,

This is a known issue with eclipse and enlightenment that 
has been discussed heavily on the enlightenment-users 
mailing list. 
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=10125900)

The problem appears to be with neither E or eclipse, but 
lie more with GTK.

There is a bug report 
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=77267) 
already filed with a proposed fix that required patching 
gtk.

Hope this helps.

Mike.
