Eclipse Photon, Skip Welcome, CheckBox missing
In the Eclipse Photon (1) release C/C++ the CheckBox to skip the Welcome Screen in future sessions is missing. Is there any other way to disable it in the settings?
Edit: I do not see checkboxes (but plusses?) in Help->Content->Scope->new
I don't see checkboxes (but plusses?) otherwise (see edited screen shot). I use debian 9 with mate.

There should be checkboxes between each tree item handle (
[+]
) and the title. Are checkboxes shown in Firefox? E. g. here: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/…– howlger

What O/S are you using? If Linux, see Welcome page not displayed properly Linux/Unix in the Release Notes for Photon: The default Welcome implementation is HTML-based and requires a supported browser in order to work. If no supported browser can be found, Welcome falls back to its Forms-based implementation, which has a different (simpler) appearance. Consult the SWT FAQ for supported browsers and setting up your browser to work with eclipse.

@howgler: yes, in Firefox (the test link) the checkboxes are visible.

Thanks to a hint in the comments I found a solution. In the file
$WORKSPACE/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.intro/introstate
is a tag state
with attribute reopen
set to "true"
. Changing that to "false"
worked. The complete modified file is as follows.
state
reopen
"true"
"false"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<state reopen="false"/>

I guess the root cause is missing checkboxes and radio buttons in the browser widget on Linux. Do you see checkboxes in: Help > Content: Scope: New...? Do you use KDE with the Orion theme?
