| SWT Slider does not work on RHEL4 [message #487868] |

Hi,
We may have found a bug in either GTK or SWT on RHEL4. The Slider snippet
from http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/
src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet17.java?view=co
fails on RHEL4 always producing SWT.NONE when the arrows are clicked. I
exported a Runnable Jar from Eclipse and used the same Jar on both Ubuntu
and RHEL4 and it works on Ubuntu.
Is there a workaround? rcjsuen from the #eclipse channel and I both
suspect a GTK bug. He recommended to post a bug requesting that SWT
"fake" the events in cases where the underlying OS does not report
the events.
If I haven't heard anything back by COB today I'll go ahead and post
that bug report.
Thanks
