Description Robin Stocker CLA 2013-12-02 07:48:36 EST 
Using Eclipse I20131126-0800 with GTK+ 3.8.6, there are some visual artifacts in widgets created using FormToolkit. It can be seen e.g. when using EGit's "Git Staging" view.

The attachments show a comparison of the same view, once when running with SWT_GTK3=0 (GTK 2) and once when running normally (GTK 3). The latter looks quite bad currently.

A description of the artifacts as numbered in the screenshot:

1. Grey area at left and right margin below the header
2. Gradients where none should be (they move around when resizing the view)
3. White background on button behind icon and text
4. Bold text, also on labels ("Author:", "Committer:") and buttons
5. Double border for text field

Still the case with M4. Note that there are other views/editors that are affected, like PDE's plug-in manifest editor.

Comment 5 Alexander Kurtakov CLA 2014-07-22 09:31:37 EDT 
Robin, I'm marking this one as fixed as forms are looking good with final Luna. Please reopen or open another bug if there is smth still broken.
Comment 6 Robin Stocker CLA 2014-07-22 10:17:08 EDT 
Indeed looks much better now. Problem number 5 is still there in final Luna. I've opened bug 440116 for this.
