WindowBuilder Change Orientation of Menu Dropdown - java

I cannot seem to find the option to change this variable in WindowBuilder at all. In the preview the orientation is fine...
But when I run the program I get this...
Notice how it goes right to left instead of left to right like most programs do.
I cannot find where to change this anywhere in the SWT documentation. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Why some lines are highlighted with a green rectangle and how to turn it off in intellij IDEA

Working on a code kata I faced behavior which can be seen on a screenshot.
A piece of code outside the page length is fixed and does not respond to the position of the cursor. I have not seen this before in other projects I was working on. What is that and how I can turn it off?
Also, when mouse pressed on this green rectangle, my keyboard language is switched.
Update: When I go to the declaration or usages of the method, this rectangle seems to be out of editor bounds.
Try disabling all 3rd custom plugins including the UI Themes plugins if you have installed any.

Your GUI is totally customizable inside the Help > Preferences > General > Appearance.
Something must have been changed, you have some Restore Default button that could help you.

Right click "Icon Tasks"

How do i create "icon tasks". I would like to replicate how some programs function (such as stickynotes/spotify) when you right click on their icons. I apologize I cannot include an image for I do not have enough reputation; however, (I am using Windows 8.1) if you right click on Chrome's Icon your "Most visited" and its "Tasks" pop up. Does anyone know how to replicate this? I cannot find anything, I must be asking the wrong questions. I found this, but I could not get it to work.

How to see the execution steps of a java program

I know that Eclipse have a function that allow us to see the steps of execution of a program.
Can anyone tell me how can I find it? I really need it to study and understand some pices of code.
Look for the little green bug at the top.
If you run it by pressing this icon, your application will run in a new perspective and stop at your breakpoints.
Enter breakpoints by clicking the area where you see the blue dot in this picture.
Navigate inside of the debugger with:
Green arrow is for running till next breakpoint.
Red square is for terminating the process.
The 90degree arrow goes into methods you invoke showing each step IN the method. The last arrow executes them without showing the steps.
If you're done with debugging you can switch perspective here.(upper right corner)
Executing your java program step by step you need to follow a few steps:
Set a breakpoint by double-clicking left of the very first line of your program, which seems to be something like public static void main(String[] args).
The breakpoint looks like this ->
Open your program in the view. (in the standard layout this could be found in the top right corner of your eclipse ide)
Start running your program in debug mode (in the standard layout this could be found in the toolbar at the top of your eclipse ide)
Now you can easily navigate through your program by using the F5-F7 buttons or clicking these icons in the top toolbar

java with eclipse - lost design page

I am learning Java using Eclipse - started a project with javax.swing and could view a design page with my page layouts shown and various palets for components etc. Now this design page seems to have vanished and I cant discover any option to recover it. I hope someone can get me back on track.
Have you tried Right-click on class (for example MySwingPanel.java) in package editor Open With->WindowBuilder Editor?
The last time you selected something in Open With - this is the editor to open that file on double click.
Have you tried changing the Perspective? Click the arrows next to the DDMS tab in the upper right hand corner of Eclipse and select the 'Java' Perspective.
