Menu Bar Issues with Eclipse Java ADT on Ubuntu

Question

I have downloaded the Android SDK from here .

OS version: Ubuntu 13.0 on 32 bit

When I open Eclipse , its menu bar is not accessible or basically not responding to clicks . However, shortcuts to interact with menus seem to work fine (ie: Alt + F , Alt + W etc).

I have tried the solutions mentioned here but it doesn't solve the problem, although it works fine when I run from terminal.

Answer 1

I fixed it using the following code,

sudo su
echo "export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0" > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/81ubuntumenuproxy

Answer 2

I suggest you to switch your current desktop environment to some other like KDE, cinnamon, Gnome classic etc etc.

I faced such issue when using GNOME/Unity desktop environment.
