I have tabitems with static data at the top of window & textarea beneath it.When i resize the window, & click on textarea then focus jumps to textarea & i can't see the contents present at top of window.inorder to see the contents, i need to scroll to top of window.How do i avoid this scrolling to top of window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on Property of the project. Click on Builders.Reduce the window size to 50%
2. CLick on text area. Focus is set to textarea & scroll bar moves down
3. I can't see the top of window unless I Scroll up

>2. CLick on text area. 
With the "text area" he mean: "select a builder in the list". When you do that the list scrolls which is unexpected.

Rekha, is this really an annoyance? That size appears to be the minimum size for the buttons( on the right hand side ) to remain meaningful enough. But, yes, the scrolling that happens when the table acquires focus is unexpected. And at that size it seems to be the case for tables and trees on other preference pages as well; it is perhaps done by ScrolledComposite.

Sounds like a WONTFIX (?)

No, as you said yourself: "But,
yes, the scrolling that happens when the table acquires focus is unexpected.
".

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
