Description Joe Szurszewski CLA 2001-10-30 16:20:01 EST 
When a TextViewer is created, if the SWT.V_SCROLL | SWT.H_SCROLL style is 
specified, both scroll bars are always present, whether they need to be or 
not.  For smaller viewers, this takes up a lot of valuable screen real-estate.  
If these styles are not specified, then when scroll bars are needed, they don't 
appear.

These style bits get passed directly to the widget constructor. Changing 
component to SWT.

There was an OS issue which required us to do this. Please comment on 
it, then mark the PR as WONTFIX.
Comment 3 Steve Northover CLA 2002-05-27 18:50:52 EDT 
It is the policy of the platform whether scroll bars should be hidden or 
disabled when not needed.
