Extracted Solution:

According to comment 20 in this bug report: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=440660#c20

This seems to be a bug in GTK according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk2-engines-oxygen/+bug/1242801 (there a similar problem for Meld was reported).
Another workaround mentioned there is for Oxygen, edit the normally already existing file /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and change

`GtkComboBox::appears-as-list = 1`

into

`GtkComboBox::appears-as-list = 0`

This workaround is working for me.
