Pictures are worth 1000 words. Videos are worth more. Here's a recording of the bug: https://youtu.be/caMr7yb64Fc I'm not hitting any keys. Hovering over the annotation closes it, which is strange. Additionally, the scroll bar rubber bands. I'm running Ubuntu 15.10, however this problem has been happening for a while now (6 or so months). I downloaded Mars this evening and built the tar ball, so I know that Eclipse is up to date. I verified this by checking for updates within eclipse, which showed no updates.
Could you try running with SWT_GTK3=0 in your environment?
Hi Brian, I've added it (at least I think I have). Please see the following: http://pastebin.com/3YwMmV7d I'm still having the problems. Thanks.
Oops, SWT_GTK3 is an environment variable set in your shell before you start Eclipse. But you can add the following lines to your eclipse.ini file: --launcher.GTK_version 2 See bug 430736#c44 for an example.

The auto-closing hovers are bug 490933. The only workaround in Mars (4.5.2) is to run with GTK2. I'm not sure what the problem with the jumping scroll bars is.
Hi All, After applying the two lines listed above, the scroll bars are no longer flickering, and have defaulted to gray scroll bars. I'm perfectly happy settling with gray scroll bars, instead of the hover bars which flicker.
