The steps are pretty simple and consistent. Load my project, hit build. And that's it!
A co-worker is experiencing similar problems on an Ubuntu 12.04 install. The problem doesn't happen on my home computer, which is an identical setup to my Ubuntu at work. I'm wondering if its either a bad GTK theme or something weird about our project at work. I Won't be back at work for another week though so won't get a chance to muck around. But when I do I'll update this thread with my findings.
