Description Eddie Galvez CLA 2011-05-11 16:55:54 EDT
Build Identifier: 3.6.2

Windows 7, 64bit
Excel 2007 32bit
Eclipse 3.6.2 32bit (also seen in 3.6.1 and 3.5.2)
If you do an Open File... against a blank excel spreadsheet, it renders well
Then as soon as you click another view/editor, the excel screen in the editor has completely blanked out. It comes back when focus returns.

Reproducible: Always

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.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
