Spring Tool Suite/STS search console/screen becomes fuzzy after search and I can't see the results. This problem is not consistent with all of my searches and it happens sometimes. I am not sure what exactly triggers it and hoping someone else has encountered this too and can help me with this.

This is version of STS I'm using and it's running on linux Mint: Version: 3.2.0.RELEASE Build Id: 201303060821

The followings are what I have tried and did not solve this problem unfortunately: 1. Restarting STS multiple times. 2. Minimizing and maximizing the search screen and STS itself. 3. Searched online of course but did not find any relevant information.

One additional information that might be useful is , the screen or STS does not hang and it's functional it's just that I can't see the search results.

Lastly I can't migrate to Eclipse even though STS is based on Eclipse because everyone in our engineering team uses STS and I have to use what the team has decided to use.

The only workaround that I am doing currently is going to the command line/terminal and using find . -name "xx" but then I'm not using STS and is not very convenient to switch from IDE to Terminal.

Has anyone encounter this and has a solution to fix this?

    That is very odd. It looks to me like it is an SWT problem. I'm guessing that you would have the same problem with vanilla Eclipse. Is it only the search results view? Any other views look like this? It's probably worth raising a bug http://bugs.eclipse.org. – Andrew Eisenberg Sep 03 '13 at 15:33
  • @AndrewEisenberg Yes, that's the only view I have seen this happening. I can try opening a bug with bugs.eclipse.org, thanks. – grepit Sep 03 '13 at 18:51
  • That would be best. Based on description, it's highly unlikely that this is STS specific. When you raise bug, include your configuration: Help -> About STS -> Installation Details -> Configuration. – Andrew Eisenberg Sep 03 '13 at 19:18
  • added it to eclipse bugs https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=418191 if they provide a solution then I'll update this. – grepit Sep 27 '13 at 17:27
