i borrowed idl 7.0 from a friend to test (which was working on his pc).
it also have the SAME problem as idl 7.1 in my ubuntu. i.e console is not working.
with the change of workspace or recreating it (after deletion) doesn't seem to help.
I installed idl 8.1 (available with license server from institute) and it is working fine.
I also have idl 6.4 from the institute which is also working fine, except for few features in the preferences menu (like choosing path preferences, they remain grey, could not check/uncheck).
So could not make out what went wrong with idl 7(7.0/7.1).
(I wish, we could have an economic option to purchase latest version of IDL.)

>>> Some of these errors are occurring because the Unity desktop manager puts the menu along the top of the screen instead of inside the window. This causes problems for eclipse. To workaround this , set the UBUNTU_MENUPROXY environment variable to 0 before you start idlde. For example:
