Re: [platform-swt-dev] Mac OS X port: native Tree/TreeItem

["Veronika Irvine" <Veronika_Irvine@xxxxxxx>]

Order of items in getSelection is undefined. See:
      http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=18377

The JUnit test is wrong.  I will fix it.

Is it ok to send the patches to the list?

Now, that the dust has settled here is my first patch for the Tree from
the carbon2 directory:

The patch returns the selection in the order the test expects.


  in Tree.getSelection():
 for (int i=0; i<count; i++) {
    OS.memcpy (id, start [0] + (i * 4), 4);
-           result [i] = items [id [0] - 1];
+           result [count-1-i] = items [id [0] - 1];
   }
