Hi Felipe,


I'm glad to read version 19.1 is running without any issue.

    Hi everyone,

    It seems to be an error in GTK

      Hi everyone and @Eliath_G_Intel ,

      I found a solution :

      run in konsole:

      export SWT_GTK3=0
      export SWT_WEBKIT2=1
      ./eclipse-nios2

      and GUI will be launched correctly
