Description Roberto Scaramuzzi CLA 2003-02-03 19:05:03 EST 
The UI to select a Help browser (Window|Preferences|Help) has a list of
available browsers/browser adapters. The chosen one is specified by a checkbox,
but the behavior is that of a radio button (when you check one the others become
unchecked). This is surprising to the user and violates UI guidelines.
Comment 1 Konrad Kolosowski CLA 2003-02-03 23:47:45 EST 
The page uses SWT Table with SWT.CHECK style.  Adding SWT.SINGLE style does not 
change the appearance of the selection widget.  SWT.RADIO is not supported by 
table.  Page needs to be redesign to fix this.
