Eclipse menus are cut off in ubuntu 13.10


  1. Open your eclipse.desktop file
  2. 
    sudo -H gedit /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop
    
    
  3. Replace the Exec= line with this
  4. 
    Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= eclipse
    
    

    (If you can't find it in this path, try in ~/.local/share/applications/eclipse.desktop. Otherwise, you could have to find yours using locate command).

    NOTE: If you can't find your eclipse.desktop file, you can simply create one from scratch in the above path, and fill it with these lines:

    
    [Desktop Entry] 
    Type=Application 
    Name=Eclipse 
    Icon=eclipse 
    Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= eclipse 
    Terminal=false 
    Categories=Development;IDE;Java;
    
    
  5. Save the file
