+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #501482 +++ It would be worth investigating the feature gap between CLabel and regular Label, and see whether: 1. there is none, so CLabel should be deprecated 2. there is some, but some CLabel feature could properly be ported to regular Combo, so we could plan a port of feature and then deprecate CLabel 3. There is a major one, and we should document it in Javadoc Currently, CLabel doc says """ * A Label which supports aligned text and/or an image and different border styles. * <p> * If there is not enough space a CLabel uses the following strategy to fit the * information into the available space: * <pre> * ignores the indent in left align mode * ignores the image and the gap * shortens the text by replacing the center portion of the label with an ellipsis * shortens the text by removing the center portion of the label * </pre> * <p> * <dl> * <dt><b>Styles:</b> * <dd>LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER, SHADOW_IN, SHADOW_OUT, SHADOW_NONE</dd> """ Is it something we could also do with a regular Label?

I believe this functionality is supported in GTK3, both with a regular GtkLabel, and with GtkBox + GtkLabel/GtkImage/whatever. We had to do a similar thing with menus, where instead of using GtkImageMenuItem we used a GtkBox stuffed with a GtkMenuItem + GtkImage/checkboxes/whatever. Generally I'm in favor of this idea since non-native GTK widgets (CLabel, CCombo, StyledText, etc.) are composed solely of SwtFixed, which can be a headache to debug.
