Description Chavaranis Nikolaos

2011-12-31 01:00:22 EST

Build Identifier: I20110613-1736

The embedded browser that is used in JDT to display the Java API documentation does not respond to Page Down, Page Up, Home, and End keys. I can only use the context menu on the scroll bar to perform these functions or the Space key which works normally.

I suspect the problem is not JDT-specific since the embedded browser is not a JDT-specific feature.

I am refering to the keybord - not numpad - page navigation keys as I am using a laptop keybord.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a Java class source file in JDT that uses a Java API class.
2. Hover over the Java API class and click on a link in the javadoc that will pop up.
3. Try to use any of the Page Down, Page Up, Home, or End keys.

On Windows 7, these keys work for me in the browser hover in 3.7 (I20110613-1736) and in I20111213-1443.

In 3.7 and 3.7.1, they indeed don't work in the internal web browser editor, which e.g. opens when you select a Java identifier and choose Navigate > Open Attached Javadoc (or click the rightmost button in the Javadoc hover toolbar).

In I20111213-1443, they also work in the web browser editor, so it looks like this has been fixed in the 3.8 stream.

Yes, this is fixed in the 3.7.2 and 3.8 streams, closing report.
