Thanks mbelos, didn't know about that environment variable! And I was
actually going to ask (before I read your comment) wheter an environment
variable to disable overlay scrollbars exists.

Interestingly enough, /usr/bin/eclipse is a start script that already
contains a workaround for a different bug that requires setting an
environment variable. ("# work around for e#290395 / LP: #458703").

I simply added:

# work around for LP #769277
export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0
export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0
# end work around

below the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true export. Fixed the problem for me.


Someone might want to file a bug against Eclipse in Ubuntu to get something 
like this included.

Still, I hope that there will be an Eclipse version w/ overlay
scrollbars. Is that going to happen?
