Re: [orca-list] Eclipse and Orca under Ubuntu

Hi Frans-Willem.

I'm afraid when Eclipse switched to Gtk+ 3, they introduced a number of
pretty serious regressions making things (including the content panel)
inaccessible. There is nothing I can do about this in Orca because Orca
cannot even see that it exists.

The Eclipse developers know about the issue and are, in theory, working
on it. In the meantime, you'll want to use a Gtk+ 2 version of Eclipse.
