Research direction

Start by inspecting the attached hs_err_pid113068.log and the Eclipse, Java, GTK, and Linux versions recorded in the issue. Check whether the crash log identifies a JVM or native component, then compare behavior with other Java versions or a controlled Eclipse setup. Done means identifying a reproducible cause or a sufficiently specific component and diagnostic path; the report currently provides no reproduction steps.
