Running the following Snippet, a Text and a Combo widget are shown in a
GridLayout side by side. Both are vertically centered, but the Text widget
begins at the same vertical position as the Combo, although the Combo is bigger
in height.

I checked the same Snippet on Windows, and there the Text widget is positioned
exactly between the Combo (=centered vertically).

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.setProperty("org.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.noFocusRing", "true");
    Display display = new Display();
    Shell shell = new Shell(display);
    shell.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, false));

    Composite c = new Composite(shell, SWT.BORDER);
    c.setLayout(new GridLayout(2, true));
    c.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.BEGINNING, true, false));

    Text t = new Text(c, SWT.BORDER);
    t.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.CENTER, true, false));

    Combo co = new Combo(c, SWT.NONE);
    co.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.CENTER, true, false));
    co.add("Hallo");

    shell.open();
    while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
      if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
        display.sleep();
      }
    }
  }
}

Note that the blue focusring was removed with a System Property. Not sure, but
maybe the removal is not taken into account when the preferred size is calculated?
