When using overlay scrollbars, some applications (Code::Blocks and Eclipse, for example) displays ghost scrollbars when scrolling

[Nicolás Abel Carbone]

Binary package hint: overlay-scrollbar

It is difficult to explain the problem in words, so a video is attached. I see the problem in present in Code::Blocks and Eclipse, other programs may be affected. There was no problem before the update of overlay-scrollbar to 0.1.9 (when this programs didn't use overlay scrollbars).

elicpe is blacklisted, codeblocks's issues (are not scrollbars) look more like a bug in codeblock (here, not reproduceable)

[Nicolás Abel Carbone (nicocarbone)]

I don't understand. If Eclipse is blacklisted, why is it using overlay scrollbars in my configuration? (I am using Eclipse from the Ubuntu repositories, screenshot attached)

And, even if it is a problem with Code::Blocks, shouldn't it be blacklisted from using overlay scrollbars?

[Andrea Cimitan (cimi)]

you're not alone in having eclipse running with the scrollbars...

I will blacklist codeblocks until a solution will come out

how are you running eclipse?

[Andrea Cimitan (cimi)]

could you please do

xprop | grep CLASS

and click on the eclipse windiw? (posting here the output)

[Nicolás Abel Carbone (nicocarbone)]

Here is the output of "xprop | grep CLASS":

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Eclipse", "Eclipse"

I am running Eclipse through the Dash, and the Launcher, with the same results.
