Created attachment 263112 [details] Please see the attached screenshot. I donwnloaded eclipse-java-neon-R-win32-x86_64.zip unpacked it launched it created new workspace see at least two problems: 1. icons are above text making it harder to read 2. Huge word "Eclipse" in header is interfering with the word "Welcome"
Thanks for reporting; I cannot reproduce the same exact behavior on Win 10, but I can zoom, pressing Ctrl-+ (Control and plus) reproduce a similar behavior. I wonder, what happens if you focus on the browser and press Ctrl+0 (Control and Zero) ? This should reset the browser scaling.
Hi Patrik, I tried Ctrl+0. The browser was on normal scale. I also tried Ctrl-+/Ctrl--. It changes scale but doesn't affect position. I am attaching screenshots. IE version on my machine is 11.0.9600.18376. Additionally I switched browser in preferences to Firefox but that didn't help.

Adding Brian in c/c as he might be interested
I *suspect* you have multiple versions of IE installed and that you're pulling in an older IE rather than IE 11. Could you please do the following: - Ctrl-3 to open the Quick Access - type "internal web browser" and open the Internal Web Browser view - navigate to https://www.whatismybrowser.com - take a screenshot and attach it here The browser used by the Welcome/Intro is the SWT Browser which embeds a browser widget, and is independent of the Preferences > General > Web Browser setting for external browsers.

Comment on attachment 263164 [details] output of whatismybrowser.com Odd, your browser's user agent is reporting it's IE 7: > Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; Trident/7.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; SLCC2; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; InforPath.3; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E and the output of that pages looks broken, like it's running on IE 7. Does it look this broken if you open whatismybrowser.com in IE 11? You could try using your Add/Remove Programs and verify that you don't have IE 7 (or anything up to 11) installed.
Yes, https://www.whatismybrowser.com/ looks ok when opened in normal browser and it reports different user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko As reported from the eclipse: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; Trident/7.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; SLCC2; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; InfoPath.3; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E)

I don't see multiple IEs installed :-(
So it's compatibility view. Once I add https://www.whatismybrowser.com/ to the compatibility list it starts looking the same as from the Eclipse browser
I didn't properly appreciate Sergey's finding. IE's compat view settings would definitely affect this. This set of pages in MSDN documents how IE determine the document mode. It looks like we need to ensure we have a X-UA-Compatible element to be very certain that we're not interpreted in IE7 mode. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff405803(v=vs.85).aspx

I'm unable to reproduce this using the MS-provided VMs for Win7/IE11 at: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/ Would anybody be able to test this Gerrit change?
I'm ok to test the change. Where are instructions for testing gerrit changes?
Thanks Sergey. Here's the simplest way I can think of to test: 1. Open the Gerrit patch link (https://git.eclipse.org/r/79274) and go to Download (upper right) and select Archive > tgz. That will download a copy of this patch applied to the source. 2. You'll need an Eclipse with the Plugin Development Environment (PDE). Start Eclipse with a fresh workspace. 3. File > Import > Existing Projects and specify the .tgz. Import all of the projects found. 4. Use Run > Run As > Eclipse Application That should run an Eclipse with all of your current plugins, with the patched org.eclipse.ui.intro* plugins.
My steps: * Launch oomph eclipse installer * Select "Eclipse IDE for Eclipse Committers – Neon" * On the next screen I can see PDE is selected among others * click Finish * Once installed - start it with a fresh workspace * "Import existing projects into workspace" * select archive I downloaded from https://git.eclipse.org/r/changes/79274/revisions/13c830c52c10111f4e49972e9468bcb3e19b9860/archive?format=tgz * import all projects the above process produces the following error dialog: Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace or their project description file is corrupted Problems were encountered during import: 'wbbasicshov_obj.' is an invalid name on this platform. Problems were encountered during import: 'CheatSheetHelpMenuAction.' is an invalid name on this platform. 'TaskDependencies.' is an invalid name on this platform. 'DescriptionPanel.' is an invalid name on this platform. 'ICompositeCheatSheet.' is an invalid name on this platform. Problems were encountered during import: 'IUniversalIntroConstants.' is an invalid name on this platform. 'UniversalIntroConfigurer.' is an invalid name on this platform.
Hmm, that's a bit baffling. Could you try extracting the archive separately and then importing from a directory? Really we're just interested in the org.eclipse.ui.intro and org.eclipse.ui.intro.univeral projects.

Together with Brian we were able to verify the fix. Welcome screen looks good now.

Fixed for 4.7, but leaving open for backport for 4.6.1. For those who have seen this bug, please tonight's 4.7 nightly build at: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/ And thank you Sergey for your help in identifying and verifying the fix.
New Gerrit change created: https://git.eclipse.org/r/79375
The latest integration build fixed the issue for me: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/I20160823-1359/
Committer +1 for Backport looks on R4_6_maintenance.
Pardon me, I meant: Committer +1 for Backport to R4_6_maintenance.
Gerrit change https://git.eclipse.org/r/79375 was merged to [R4_6_maintenance]. Commit: http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ua.git/commit/?id=d6164522ddccb21b410778ff8d2c2f4376f00311

NOTE: When you make the first change in a branch you must increase the bundle version. I've done that now in master and R4_6_maintenance.
Sorry and thanks.
