It seems that the css or positioning logic in the Eclipse client is different to how browsers implement the same. The width of our custom BIRT report is long and causes a scroll bar to appear below the report. When you scroll across, the Export icon moves to the left and then disappears off the left of the display when you continue scrolling to the right. This seems to be the default behavior of other out-of-the-box BIRT reports too.
In comparison, the same report when displayed in Firefox uses positioning, such that the Export icon stays at the right of the page no matter you scroll to the right or not. Internet Explorer is the same.
As an experiment, we added the -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla option in Eclipse 4.2 and indeed Firefox does open in an external window when you open the report. But unfortunately the positioning here was not like the other Firefox; it was the same as Eclipse.
Is there some css you can apply to a report to get the same absolute positioning of the Export icon as Firefox or IE in the Eclipse client? How might we achieve that?
We are using the default Eclipse bundled with Rational Team Concert 4.0.2, so we have to use BIRT 2.6.2.
Image1 --> Eclipse client before scroll
Image2 --> Eclipse client after scrolling to the right
Image3 --> Comparison with Firefox. This is the behavior we are looking for in Eclipse. Here the Export icon is fixed to the right and not visible, but appears when you scroll to the right.
Please disregard the language of the attached screen captures. We look forward to any help you can provide.
