Build Identifier: How do I find out? Could be 1.9.0.v2010024_1801 Using the RD/z product v7.6.2, table view. RDZ is Rational Developer for zos. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Using the RD/z product v7.6.2, table view. This happens with all views, not just Remote System Details. I can find no way to attach screen shots to this bug which would make it easier. In one.bmp you see a table view with the three rightmost columns headed parent filter | number of filter strings | connection-private. Now narrow the view so that "connection-private" is hidden off to the right. It should look like two.bmp now. You see only parent filter | number of filter strings. Now shift the table's horizontal scroll bar rightwards to bring "connection-private" back into view. It should look like three.bmp now. It should look like this parent filter | number of filter strings | connection-private Drag the column divider, the thin black vertical bar, between "number of filter strings" and "Connection-private" ever so slightly and slowly to the left. All of a sudden, "Connection-private" quickly slides left and overlays "number of filter strings". You now see this parent filter | connection-private What happened to "number of filter strings"? The same thing happens with pure Windows Explorer. Customer PMR is 87735,031,724 dmcknigh@ca.ibm.com suggested it could be a SWT or Eclipse bug. Internal work item is 36113.

(In reply to comment #5) Build version of org.eclipse.platform is 3.4.2.R342_v20090122
>The same thing happens with pure Windows Explorer. This is a bug in Windows, agreed ? You can easilly get back the column by resizing back to the right, correct ?
Comment 7 is correct. It's a characteristic (bug or no bug) of Windows. The column can be resized as long as you remember to hold down the mouse. Once you've let go of the mouse, it is hard to resize. Even though it's a Windows bug, the customer wants eclipse to fix it. If only the rapid shift to the left were either eliminatef or slowed down he would be happy.
(In reply to comment #8) > Even though it's a Windows bug, the customer wants eclipse to fix it. I'm not sure this is possible in this case.
Would Bug 177175 be related, or at least a possible solution (if it were ever implemented). At least with a min width, the column would not entirely disappear. (Note that currently you can always trap the column resize and set the width back to some acceptable number)
The customer would be happy for anything. Bug 177175 would be fine.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
