It seems that if a textbox in the preferences page has long content when that page is selected, the preferences window stretches to the right (sometimes beyond the edge of the screen) to accomodate it. To reproduce: 1. Unzip the eclipse SDK to a directory under a long path, and start eclipse 2. Go to Window->Preferences... 3. Expand "Plug-In Development", and click on "Target Platform" 4. The textbox on the top widens the preferences window beyond edge of the screen, if the path is long enough. It is unlikely that eclipse is put in a long path like that, but it may occur with other (custom plugin?) preferences windows that have text boxes.
Although this is a PDE pref. page, we should see if there's anything we can do to help avoid this in preference pages, e.g. allow wrap in string field editors.
A simpler approach would be to limit the width of the text field.

Text box at top wraps in 2.0.
