[ScrollableAdapter] More views with empty content: Task List and Git Synchronize

[paulbilnoski]

After updating to 0.1.1.20151108-0929, I noticed some additional issues:

I was previously able to resize the synchronize wizard to get content to display, but can not with this version.

I thought these were related, but if they are distinct they can be split into separate issues.

Thanks for reporting these problems. Tricky... I will have a look at it ASAP.

Strange indeed, so far I haven't been able to reproduce the problem, unfortunately. This is how the wizard and the tasklist look in my installations:

You did probably a workbench restart after upgrading to the latest version? Just in case... Does the problem occur permanently or intermittently? What eclipse installation package are you using? Did the problem with the tasklist exist prior to 0.1.1.20151108-0929? Looks like I'm fishing somewhat in moody waters at the moment, so any additional information is highly appreciated ;-)

I fixed some other problems of whom, in particular, the cause of #37 might have influence on this issue. Since I do not have any other clue yet, you might update to the latest version and see if the problem persists. Sorry, for the inconvenience.

The Git Synchronize dialog is working again for me, perhaps after a restart. With the latest build (0.1.1.20151110-1130) and several restarts, the Task List view still appears as the previous image each time, so is not intermittent.

It is difficult for me to tell when the problems began since I have several workspaces I use regularly, leave multiple instances of Eclipse up for days, use slightly different toolsets/views (e.g. git sync / task list) in different workspaces, and have only switched to the Clean Sheet theme in some of them.

I was previously using a Mars M7 build, but updated Clean Sheet as well as the platform around 9 Nov to eclipse.buildId=4.5.1.M20150904-0015 which seems to be the latest Mars.1 release. My build has JDT, WTP, Mylyn, EGit, Subversive, and little else, so I don't suspect any SWT/UI conflicts occurring.

Thank you very much for this info. I will have another look at the task list view problem and keep you updated.

[paulbilnoski]

Here is another data point for you:
When I launch the IDE with the Task List saved in the perspective as a fast view, I see the blank Task List content behavior. However, if I restore the fast view into the perspective layout before restarting the workbench, then the Task List displays properly. Switching perspectives to one in which the Task List is still a fast view also renders it properly once it has initialized.

It seems then that it is related to being in a fast view on workbench load and not initializing properly from that situation. Since I tend to use fast views heavily, that is likely why I have had more issues.

Hopefully this will help you with your diagnostics!

[fappel]

This looks like a very helpful piece of information! It never occured to me that there could be a difference in fast view to standard behavior, although I use fast views by myself quite often ;-) I will investigate this and keep you posted.

[fappel]

I was able to reproduce the problem and fix it. Hope it works for you also.

[paulbilnoski]

It appears to be working properly for me now, thanks!

Some further information on the Git Synchronize window: It shows blank content for me when I simply click "next" on the first page ("select from available synchronization types") when "Git" is already selected. If I double-click the "Git" entry in the list to advance the page, the content shows properly. This does not occur when using the "SVN" synchronization type.

[fappel]

Created a new issue for the latter problem, see #43 for tracing progress. Thanks for reporting it!

[fappel]

Fixed the problem with blank content on Git Synchronize Wizard (#43) - at least I cannot reproduce it anymore in my workspace ;-)
