Cannot scroll via KB in preference

Build ID: I20080617-2000

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Set up the High Contrast mode for Windows OS, by selecting the High Contrast settings in Control Panel -> Accessibility Options -> Display
2. Launch Eclipse, and open the preference dialog 
3. Navigate to General -> Appearance. You will find that, the right side content can not be displayed in one page, and a vertical scrollbar is shown up automatically. However, using keyboard only, you can not perform scrolling, thus you can not view the content hided in the bottom. 
4. Navigate to Run/Debug -> Launching page, you will find that both veritical and horizontal scroll bar are shown up. But, with keyboard only, you can not perform any scrolling actions.

Patch looks good (but doesn't handle RTL mode too well).
