Description Lee Lowry CLA 2008-06-07 11:07:20 EDT 
Build ID: I20080530-1730

Steps To Reproduce:
I have a palette with several drawers with items in each drawer.  When I drag/drop any item into my editor, that works fine, but the remaining items in that drawer disappear.  If I move my mouse over them or expand/collapse the drawer, they will reappear.   This has happened on every version of Eclipse 3.4 that I've tried.  It doesn't happen on Windows.

More information:
To get around this, on the TemplateTransferDropTargetListener get a handle to the palette and force it to repaint.  This works most time, but not always.  I'd really like this fixed.  It looks pretty ugly in our product.  Thanks.

Actually, the forced repaint on drop seems to always do the trick.  The one case where it wasn't was my issue.  But, I think it's strange that I have to force the repaint, when I've never had to do that for the Windows version.

Sounds like a possible SWT defect, maybe...

Lee, can you still reproduce this with Eclipse/GEF 3.6.1?
