Re: [ptp-user] Scrollbar problems with JAXB configurable resourcemanager

["Daniel Fitzgerald" <danfitz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Greg,

I'm more than willing to dig into the
code, and will open an issue shortly.  Where would I need to look
to get started on this?

Hi Dan,

There are issues with how the generated content area scrolls,
that would definitely benefit from some enhancements. I’d suggest opening
a bug on this issue, however it may take some time to look at the problem.
If you’re willing to dig into the code, that might be the quickest way
to get it fixed. I’m happy to provide pointers on where to look if that
would help.

Regards,
Greg

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.
