Hi,

When using the tabbed properties view the underlying composite is encapsulate into a ScrolledComposite which automatically provides the horizontal scrollbar if necessary.

Unfortunately the default increment of this scrollbar is 1 pixel which is very low and not really usable.

Adding a simple verticalScrollBar.setIncrement(25) in the method resizeScrolledComposite of the class TabbedPropertySheetPage should fix the problem, while providing a coherent user experience with the rest of the platform regarding scrolling.

An ugly hack has been added into papyrus (rev 6520) until this is fixed.

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.
