Instead of run shortcut Eclipse shows shortcut in blue popup

I have defined custom shortcut in General -> Key dialog for "Show Whitespace character". Key is Ctrl-` (Ctrl and the key above Tab). In Eclipse Helios, shortcut have worked OK.

After upgrade to Fedora 17 and Eclipse Juno instead of showing Whitespace characters, Eclipse shows up blue popup. I have to press enter and then action is activated. The same popup is activated if I press Esc but with two options: Format and Toggle Comment, so I suppose purpose of blue popup is to display choice (if there is any).

Here is image to describe the problem.

I've been Googled for couple of hours but without any luck. Don't know how to name this popup either - popup, dialog, modal, window ... and in combination with "eclipse shortcut", Google displays all answer but needed.

Does anybody know how to resolve this problem, thanks in advance.

I found out that the file workbench.xmi breaks for some reason causing this nasty problem. To solve my problem I've replaced this file with one from a new workspace and the problem disappeared.

The file is located in .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.e4.workbench

There is actually a bug for that

In your case, if the problem is just a single shortcut, I think it is enough to change the when option to Editing text. It works for me, but after I restart Eclipse something destroys the entries in the keys configuration.

I think this is a bug, the key binding doesn't work well after this upgrade.
