[Bug 1508870] Re: Font corruption (gets bold) when scrolling in Eclipse

 

I think this is not related to the Intel graphics driver (I'm having the
same problem with a nvidia video card).

Workarounds that worked for me:
1. Turn off antialiasing (fonts will be extremely ugly)
OR
2. Add this to eclipse.ini:
--launcher.GTK_version
2

So it looks like a GTK3 problems.
