Description Jeff McAffer CLA 2008-02-13 20:42:02 EST 
in i0207

I have a target editor open in the Java perpsecitve and the editor is too wide.  The right side of the content is cut off by the outline view such that a horizontal scroll bar is needed.  Grabbing the outline | editor sash and dragging you can see the editor resize (correctly) for a split second and then revert back to being too wide.  For the content on the Outline page of the editor there ought not be much of a width limit.

I haven't seen this at all in the new editor.  Closing as WORKSFORME.

Reopening.  I have seen similar issues with vertical space on linux.  Could easily be caused by something lower level than PDE since as far as I know we just create a composite the fills the area the form gives us.
Comment 6 Chris Aniszczyk CLA 2009-04-27 09:11:27 EDT 
most likely a Forms issue
Comment 7 Chris Aniszczyk CLA 2009-04-28 17:03:42 EDT 
bumping to RC1

I'm not sure if this is a Forms or SWT issue.

Kevin, any ideas?
Comment 8 Kevin Barnes CLA 2009-04-28 18:13:20 EDT 
I suppose it's a layout issue. If it's happening on mac and windows I don't think that SWT would be to blame. Some widget's size must getting computed (or set) to be wide. I'd start by figuring out which control is causing the width to be so big.
Comment 9 Curtis Windatt CLA 2009-05-06 11:32:57 EDT 
No one is currently looking at this bug, deferring.
Comment 10 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2019-09-06 16:16:53 EDT 
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.
Comment 11 Julian Honnen CLA 2019-09-09 02:46:02 EDT 
Please remove the stalebug flag, if this issue is still relevant and can be reproduced on the latest release.
