java - Eclipse dialogs open twice when clicked with mouse -


within past 2 weeks, eclipse has started behaving oddly. not sure changed, although did install jdk , jre 7u21.

any dialog (search, eclipse about, switch workspace, etc.) open clicking menu item mouse opens twice. 1 dialog displays directly behind -- when you're done 1 , hit ok or close, there's waiting behind it. if drag first 1 side, other identical dialog right behind it.

sometimes fact 2 dialogs open disrupts contents or functionality of 1 or both of dialogs. example, file filters in search dialog might blank 1 of 2 popups, , neither of 2 search windows works.

the same dialogs, if opened keyboard shortcuts (click search menu, press f on keyboard open file search dialog), display 1 dialog. no functionality issues dialogs opened way.

no other program exhibits behavior.

why happening , how make stop?

i've searched google , found no clues.

here things i've tried:

  • i using eclipse 3.8 sr2. tried creating new workspace. same behavior in clean workspace.
  • i tried launching eclipse -clean option. startup took longer, no change in dialog behavior.
  • i unzipped old copy of eclipse 3.8 sr2 , tried clean copy of eclipse system. same behavior.
  • i downloaded , switched eclipse 4.2 sr2. started new workspace. same behavior.
  • i unplugged usb mouse , tried using laptop touchpad alone. same behavior.
  • i've checked workspace\.metadata\.log, there no related entries.

i had problem laptop , found out nview desktop manager. had turned on experimenting different settings. disabled nview, problem went away within eclipse juno.

i hope helps.
