It involves one of the most used features: Content Assist. You know, pressing Ctrl+Space to show objects, methods, or variable information quickly.

The problem is actually not with Eclipse or Java, but (as usual) some of the native components – in this case xulrunner. The easiest way to fix this problem is just to update the package to 1.9.2 or later. You can do this by adding the mozilla-daily PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa

Update: Remove this PPA afterwards or you’ll get a lot of updates, like (oddly named) new versions of Firefox.
