I currently have IBM Rapid Application Developer 8.5.1 installed on Windows 7 64 bit and I'm having these two issues:

  • I'm unable to scroll by dragging the scrollbar with my mouse on both the Enterprise Explorer and the Package Explorer. If I do so, it goes to the first state. I am able to scroll using the arrows OR by clicking under/above the scrollbar OR by using my mouse wheel
  • Using Ctrl+F to find something in my jsp sometimes doesn't work. When I restart IBM RAD, it works again, but it's quite irritating.

Question: is this a bug within RAD (or Eclipse?) or is it a Windows 7 thing?

To make scrollbars draggable under windows 7 64bit:

Preferences\General\Appereance => uncheck "Enable animations" and "Enable colored labels". The IDE will issue a restart ("yes"...) and scrollbars will be draggable as expected.

I don't think this will impact ctrl+f, though.

In the end, sounds like an incompatibility between desktop compositing and (old) SWT
