RC1 When you try to create a java class in High Contrast mode the bottom buttons of the wizard are cut off. To set up High Contrast select the High Contrast settings in Control Panel -> Accessibility Options -> Display. We test at 1152x768 resolution.

Tod, am I missing something. I don't see any cut off button in the screen shot. And do you know what the rule will be regarding high contrast mode. Are we saying that Eclipse works in High contrast mode. We didn't in the past. Right ?
Everything under main is missing (3 buttons and a label). We have supported High Contrast since Eclipse 2.0. There is also cut off text in the following Java wizards Java Project JUnit test case
But fixing this basically means rewriting the dialogs. Is there another solution for it ?
Usually making one of the Composites scrollable does the trick.
I was able to fix the new project and the new JUnit test case wizard. However I am not able to fix the new class wizard since there is a layout problem in SWT (see bug 99109) which results in the fact that the wizard always has a scrollbar :-( I opened bug 99112 to track the new class wizard and will close this one so that the fix gets verified for RC2. When verifying this bug make sure that: - both wizard don't have a scroll bar when opened with a normal font and a normal screen resolution settings - when the dialog is resized (made smaller) a vertical scroll bar appears.
Reopening...
After testing this accross multiple platform I have to revert this. The scroll composite trick works under Windos and Motif, but not under GTK2. The wizard always shops up with a scroll bar which looks really funny and unprofessional. I will revert the changes and see if I understand why this doesn't work under GTK. Have to test Mac Platform as well.
Removing milestone. Have to check what we can do here and if we can avoid the scroll bars under GTK.
Verified on I20050610-1200 that both wizards don't offer a vertical scroll bar anymore.
This is even more complicated as I thought. Under GTK using the blue curve schema not scroll bar shows up, however using the Misc theme forces a scroll bar.
Our attempts on this one showed that it is really tricky/impossible to get the scrolled composits doing right and not showing up when they aren't necessary. If we really go that way, it should be better to solve this in platform UI, e.g. the wizard dialog. Setting to won't fix until we have a better solution
Martin we are not going to solve this in the platform ui as it will potentially break the layouts of many pages that are out there that are assuming they are not in a scrolled composite. I personally find the same thing you do - the scrolled Composite is too hard to get right. Making the dialog wider might be a better solution as right now the smaller vertical space is larger. The modifers could be moved to the same line for instance.
This bug appears to be resolved in 3.2 - I can see everything on the new java class wizard page when running Eclipse in high contrast.
Reopening - this is an issue again in 3.3
Created attachment 68418 [details] Screenshot in 3.3 This is also an issue with the new project wizard. In 3.3 we added scrollbars in the preference dialog in low resolutions. I think we need to apply the same pattern to wizards. See Bug 188724 for more details.
I also think it would be good if the wizard dialog adds scrollbars when necessary. Can I set this bug as 'duplicate' of bug 188724?
It is up to you but as we haven't decided what to do yet I would keep it blocked by Bug 188724 rather than a dup

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
