It seems that the css or positioning logic in the Eclipse client is different to how browsers implement the same in the Web UI. The width of our custom BIRT report is long and causes a scroll bar to appear below the report. When you scroll across, the Export icon moves to the left and then disappears off the left of the display when you continue scrolling to the right. This seems to be the default behavior of other out-of-the-box BIRT reports too.

In comparison, the same report when displayed in the Web UI uses positioning, such that the Export icon stays at the right of the page no matter you scroll to the right or not.

Is there some css you can apply to a report to get the same absolute positioning of the Export icon in the Eclipse client? How might we achieve that?

Eclipse client after scrolling to the right


Comparison with Web UI (Firefox). This is the behavior we are looking for the Eclipse.
Here the Export icon is fixed to the right and not visible, but appears when you scroll to the right.
