Eclipse Side-by-Side Editor Behaviour

At some point Eclipse has decided to add a load of whitespace when dragging one editor tab to the side of another.

Is it possible to get the old behaviour back in newer versions of Eclipse?

Eclipse 4.4, with nasty whitespace: enter image description here

Eclipse 3.7, without the pointless whitespace above the tabs: enter image description here

Update

After @GGrec's suggestion, the white bar is much smaller, but still present. Is this at all avoidable, or is this just the way Eclipse 4.4 is? enter image description here

Step 1. Uninstall,

Step 2. Clean application data:
For example, In my computer: %userprofile% == C:\Users\vy.vy-pc\

Delete folder:
C:\Users\vy.vy-pc\AppData\Roaming\Spring Tool Suite and
C:\Users\vy.vy-pc\AppData\Local\Spring Tool Suite

enter image description here enter image description here Step 3. Reinstall your Eclipse.

That is a workspace metadata bug. You're using your old workspace with the new Eclipse.

You can also notice the ugly black thick line under your workbench actions.

To fix this, go to Preferences -> General -> Appearance. Change your theme, then change it back. Do an Eclipse restart with -clean while you're at it.
