Raji, is this an isolated case or are there other dialogs that show this effect using the same settings??
Comment 3 Raji Akella CLA 2008-07-07 11:23:50 EDT 
There are others with similar issues. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=232852

PDE doesn't own that specific preference page ;o!
Comment 5 Raji Akella CLA 2008-07-14 14:49:36 EDT 
Hey Chris, Howdy! Sorry - I just meant to say that we see this type of behavior in other places as well, not just in pref pages
Comment 6 Chris Aniszczyk CLA 2008-07-14 14:58:25 EDT 
np, the best way to do this would probably be to file bugs for the various components and keyword them as accessibility.
Comment 7 Eric Moffatt CLA 2008-07-23 14:19:03 EDT 
Kim, I'll give you this one since you already have bug 232852...

Assigning this as a generic preference bug.
Based on similar problems I've seen, the problem is likely the layout used by the preference dialog (or even something inherited higher in the dialog framework).

I'm surprised, though, that the buttons themselves would be truncated this badly.  

Oleg, if it turns out that the problem is widespread in all dialogs, you can mark this as a [Dialog] bug...

This seems to have been fixed and works for me in 3.6. No clipping of buttons anymore.
