Description Marcio CLA 2003-03-13 12:24:22 EST 
Eclipse 2.1 RC2

1) Open any source file in its text editor in eclipse
2) make sure the file is small, like 1 line only, just 2 chars
3) Note how the scroll bars are visible (yes, they are disabled, but still 
visible). This should be smarter, they should come & go as needed.

Using a StyledText in a new view for the Debugger I see myself wasting a lot 
of screen space because of the "always there" scollbars.
Comment 1 Eric Estievenart CLA 2003-11-05 11:59:10 EST 
I think that there should be specific "AUTO" flags used when
instanciating the text editors, so that they appear/disappear
automatically depending on the contents.
This would be really useful when you have embedded text
editors within super editors, and they don't have so much space.
Generated UIs would be less cluttered by scrollbars.

See also bugs #34513 and #27096.
Maybe this bug should be requalified as enhancement request ?

New API to disable the scroll bars has been added, but we decided not to adopt this for textual editors.

Please justify your decision. The SWT functionality is now in place. Let the user decide whether to show/hide the scroll bar. For stacked editors this would be a considerable improvement.
