Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: eclipse

Under certain circumstances, Java editor windows are locked to read-
only. You can still navigate the text with the cursor, but the title of
the tab is greyed out, and typing text into the window is locked.
Sometimes this state is soluble by closing all current editor tabs,
sometimes it requires a restart of Eclipse

Previously (in GNOME 2), this state only seemed to occur as the result
of a screen lock (in GNOME), and even then, not reliably. I cannot seem
to provoke this from a manual screen lock, so perhaps it only occurs
when the screensaver kicks in.

In Unity, this seems to occur when you use desktop workspace switching
to move to another desktop, and then back to the current one. This makes
it much more annoying.
