    Summary : Opening birt reports in the report designer perspective causes the rulers to shake back and forth. Attached a picture with the rulers indicated in red. Attached eclipse config. Attached a minimal report design that produces the behavior.

    Steps : Created the attached report design (it just has a table element). Closed and reopened the design.
    Expected : Rulers stay in place.
    Saw : Rulers jump 0.5″ in alternating directions, each third of a second.

    Contrary steps : Opened and reopened report in the java perspective with the report editor view.
    Expected : Rulers stay in place. Saw : Rulers stay in place.

    Contrary steps : Switched to standard Eclipse Dark theme. Opened and reopened report in the report designer perspective with the report editor view.
    Expected : Rulers stay in place. Saw : Rulers stay in place.

    Since the rptdesign “file type is not permitted for security reasons”, I’ll copy the contents here:

    Thanks for the detailed information! From the screenshot it seems like the styled Scrollbars might be causing issues in that specific view. We will investigate.

    In the mean time, do you mind updating to our latest version of Darkest Dark (CI7) released today and confirm the issue is still happening there?

    Thanks!

    @nzen, We managed to replicate and fix the issue thanks to your detailed information. This fix will be available soon in our next release (early next week).

    If you are curious, the issue was caused by some conflicts between the reports editor and our flat scrollbars so we decided to disable the flat scrollbars there as that is the less risky change.

    Cheers!
