Hi Matt,

Not sure if your issue is related to this bug, but Eclipse has a problem on OSX 
when running on two displays *if the displays are stacked*. Specifically, this 
relates to problems with pop-ups such as API help on mouse-overs. That is, if 
the second display is configured as being above or below the main display, you 
get problems if working in Eclipse on the secondary display (including some 
persons that have reported crashes of Eclipse in this "configuration").

These problems have been reported to go away once you align the two displays in 
your System Settings side-by-side and exactly on the top edge (i.e., put the 
second display to the right or left and have the top edges of the two displays 
at the same height). Maybe you want to check if aligning the second display 
that way helps you. If it does, the problem is most likely related to using a 
multi-monitor setup of Eclipse on OSX...

Cheers,
Florian
