Dragging and dropping the scroll bar does not update the view

Troubleshooting


Problem

In IBM® Rational® Application Developer (RAD), IBM Rational Software Architect Designer (RSAD) and other Eclipse-based products, when you attempt to drag the scroll bar with the mouse button and drop it (either above or below) in a view, the scrollbar comes back to its initial place and the view is not updated.

Symptom

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Open an eclipse project in the Project Explorer
     
  2. Make sure that the scrollbar is displayed in the Project Explorer, either by expanding the content of folders or jar archives or by adding elements to the project
     
  3. Drag the scrollbar and move it either down or up. Notice that the Project Explorer's view has not been updated as it should be.
     
  4. Drop the srcollbar anywhere and notice that it will instantly move back to its original position and that the view is still not updated.

NOTE:
  • This issue has been observed in the Project Explorer, the Package Explorer, the Outline View, the Search view and on most other views as well, but it does not happen in the Navigator View.
     
  • This issue has not been observed in any editor.
     
  • If you are using a mouse that has a wheel, the wheel will work as expected and the view will be properly updated.
     
  • If you click on the scroll arrows, the view will also be updated correctly.
     
  • If you click between the scrollbar and the scroll arrows, the view will also be updated as expected.
     
  • If you use the down and up keys, or the page down and page up keys, the view will also be updated appropriately.
