Eclipse Dialogs Have No Title Bar and Can't Be Moved in Gnome 3


I just installed Eclipse from the Android website and the dialogs have no title bar and seem to be docked at the top of the Eclipse main window. I can't find a way to move them or get the titlebar back. I'm using Gnome 3 as desktop/window manager.

For example, if I choose Search | File... from the main menu, it comes up, but without titlebar. If I press Alt+F7, I can move the entire window, but the dialog will not move relative to the window.

How do I fix this?

Thx.


Solution

  • You are missing an important information, your operating system and desktop environment. Let me guess? Linux/Gnome? Or Cinnamon?

    Gnome has the, erm, great feature to attach modal dialogs at the main window.

    You can install dconf-editor and set the key org/gnome/shell/overrides/attach-modal-dialogs to false.

    In Cinnamon you can easily disable this feature in the System Settings > Windows > Attach dialog windows (may not be the actual text as I translated it from my locale). You need to switch the settings to Expert mode to see the Windows entry.
