Driver: RC2 Platform : RedHat 8.0 Professional, motif, gtk2.2.1 locale : ja_JP.eucjp, ko_KR.euckr, zh_CN.gb18030, zh_TW.big5 Steps get into Preferences - Workbench - Fonts The button "Use System font" is truncated on motif, most of it isn't shown on gtk.
I have replicated this but not consistently so I am having a hard time tracing it. The problem is that we appear to not be getting the resize serviced by SWT and the dialog is not resizing as a result. Fuse-san do you get these errors to your terminal? (process:2028): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library (process:2028): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. bash-2.05b$ ./eclipse (process:2191): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library (process:2191): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Should move this to SWT if it looks like an SWT problem.
The scenario is that the resize is not occuring on the Dialog in Japanese on Motif and GTK. This only occurs when I have opened the dialog for the first time - if I do it again later on in my session I do not have this problem. Also note that I cannot replicate this self hosted.

Approved by Mike for RC3.
Tod, No, I didn't get these messages.
Tod showed me the problem on his machine. I cannot reproduce it here, though I think my setup is matching his. Will revisit later.

*** Bug 35166 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Note that based on the provided screen shots bug 35165 and bug 35166 aren't actually duplicates of this problem. These are simply cases of the preferences dialog stretching to the full screen width but being unable to lay out all of the widgets. I saw these same issues on our GB18030 machine, but the dialog did in fact grow to fill the available screen width. Removing the RC3 tag from this report since it could not be resolved in time for tonight's RC3 build.
I've tried to run RC3a on RedHat 9 that is golden. Only motif on zh_TW locale has this error. All of other locales for motif and gtk do no have this error.
This is a duplicate of 31278. Normally I would just mark it as such but this PR is under consideration for 2.1.1. Kevin?
FH and SN experimented comparing two strings of 3 characters. One contained, "mmm" and the other contained 3 Chinese characters. If the dialog in question were to be composed of all Chinese characters, the dialog would need to be larger than the screen to show all the characters. The window manager prevents this so the characters are clipped. Also, we stepped through the code that was computing the average character width and the code was taking an evenly weighted average of English and Chinese. If it were it "correctly" take into account that there are more Chinese characters than English, the average would be even bigger. One possibility is to use the character width of an English character to calculate widths. So, I'm not sure what SWT can do about this. Perhaps the dialog layout could be rewritten to use the extra space above the three buttons?
I have verified that it is the size of the font that makes the difference and that on Motif the widths that OS provides are excessive. I think we are stuck with just reorganizing this dialog.
Created attachment 4823 [details] Proposed patch
Reassigning to me. I have tested the supplied patch with a variety of fonts in both Japanese and English and the new layout does not have the problems with the size calculations. I would like to submit this for 2.1.1 subject to approval from Nick and Kevin.
