Public bug reported: WindowBuilder running in Ecilpse under Ubuntu 12.04, 13.04, 14.04, 15.04 with Unity or KDE has some display errors - maybe affected by this bug.
Please have a look at this bug report: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=417224. In this bug report Eric, project leader of WindowBuilder, notes the following: "This is caused by a bug in the Linux window manager you are using (it is reporting incorrect coordinate positions). It is not consistent across all window managers, distributions, or versions, so we know of no way to consistently work around the problem. The recommended workaround for this is to use a different Linux distribution, version, or window manager. As you noted in your report, you get different results with different Linux distros which further highlights the lack of compatibility across Linux distros and versions. The fact that it appears to be working in one of the distros you tried suggests that the problem was fixed for that version and not the others. It happens to work fine in the Linux distros we have installed."
