Description B. Eschrich CLA 2009-11-05 18:34:02 EST 
ComboFieldEditor implements Combo  as internal sub control. Under Linux and Gnome is no border around the combobox. In Method : private Combo getComboBoxControl(Composite parent) 
 ..
new Combo(parent, SWT.READ_ONLY);
..
missing SWT.BORDER flag.

Inconsistent look and feel. Also Combo fills the screen with selection list if a big data list exist. The combobox MUST pull down a selection list with n item but by default - i think - ten items. Crazy usabilitiy. It is recommended to test more under Unix systems as under Windows

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.
