Vertical scrollbars broken on Mac OS (10.11) [message #1740636] Tue, 16 August 2016 14:16 Go to next message

On Mac OS, when you have your system scrollbars set to show up "Automatically based on mouse or trackpad" - which is the default setting - and you add code to have alternating row colors, as e.g. the Classic Example "TreeGridWithCheckBoxFieldsExample does, then when you start scrolling, you'll observe the following issues:

- The vertical scrollbars appear "scrambled", are barely discernible
- The vertical scrolling becomes painfully slow, feeling oddly "jammed", not smooth.

Tested on:
OS X 10.11.5
NatTable 1.3.0

I have attached a short video file to show exactly what I mean.

Any help will be greatly appreciated Smile

Yes, the very same artefact shows up with the 1.4.0 examples (the example is of course "FreezableGridExample", not as I had initially stated "TreeGridWithCheckBoxFieldsExample").
I have also tried with the latest SWT 4.6 jar to launch:
org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_3.105.0.v20160603-0902.jar

Any idea what's causing this?

I don't have any idea. Maybe some Mac OS specific stuff. The scrollbars are updated and there is frequent redrawing on scrolling. Maybe something related to that or related to the SWT implementation on Mac.

As I don't have a Mac and I never will, I can't really help with that.

You can create a ticket and refer to this thread. Maybe someone else can take this.

Btw, these artefacts do not appear if you have your scrollbar settings set to "always show".
Do you happen to know off the top of your head if you can programmatically force the scrollbars to be visible?

SWT does provide API to control the scrollbar visibility. But Mac seems to do something on the OS layer, and I'm not sure if SWT is aware of that or if that exactly is the issue here.

Yeah, the SWT API doesn't help here, it does seem to be an OS layer tweak that would be necessary here.
