Created attachment 287870 [details]
output of xprop ran on the popup.

the size values for a popup passed to xorg via `WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS)` by eclipse are 0, resulting in the window manager assigning the default size to the popup, which is usually too small for said popup.

steps to reproduce:
1. run eclipse in a window manager using `WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS)` for window size.
2. open any popup, for example file outline.
(optional)3. use a tool like xprop to check the windows properties.
result: the popup will open with the wrong size.

attachments:
