[ptp-user] Scrollbar problems with JAXB configurable resource manager

["Daniel Fitzgerald" <danfitz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been doing some work on a PTP Resource
Manager extension using JAXB, and have run into a problem with the way
in which scrolling works.  When I size the Run Configuration Dialog
smaller than its' JAXB-generated content, horizontal and vertical scroll
bars appear in the resources tab.  My testing requires me to use the
keyboard (up/down/right/left arrow keys and page up/down keys) to scroll
horizontally and vertically.  I find that when I tab into a field
off the bottom off the viewable portion of the frame, my focus control
advances to that field, but the frame contents do not "scroll down"
to follow it.  If I want to see my focus cursor, I need to use my
mouse to adjust the scroll bar.

I tested this scenario out with some
of the PTP-provided Resource Manager extensions, and am noticing the same
behavior.  This will be a serious problem to a user that can only
navigate with key commands.  I would like to know if the community
has any suggestions on how I could work to address this problem, or if
I should open up a defect against PTP instead.
