I ran into an issue when compiling a game (with either runtime).
The solution was to symlink a library to the name that Stencyl was looking for.
ln -s /usr/lib64/libpcre.so /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.3
The solution came from here:

Stencyl seems to contain some built-in libraries for "libpcre", but for not the file it's looking for (libpcre.so.3).

So I figured out that the menu issue was being caused by the "Maximus Two" gnome extension (only when maximized). Either way it seems to work fine with openjdk if anyone experiences a similar issue.
Also, Stencyl's working environment consists of a bunch of symlinks in ~/.local/share/stencyl, so it's also possible to switch your runtime under your user profile instead of modifying system files.

I've noticed some issues with the built-in java runtime provided by Stencyl. Once such issue is that when I try to navigate the menubar, my mouse cursor doesn't line up with the selected item.
I've managed to resolve the issue by renaming Stencyl's runtime folder and symlinking it to the system's runtime (sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime /usr/share/stencyl/runtimes/jre-linux).
Currently, I've tried running it with jdk8-openjdk supplying the runtime and it seems to work fine. I'm not an experienced Stencyl user though, and I'm only checking it out because it's in this week's Humble Bundle.
This idea could use some additional testing by someone who knows the program. If everything works, it seems like it would be a good usability improvement to ditch the included runtime in favor of a more up-to-date one. Just my two cents though.
