Re: [platform-swt-dev] Info on PR 1GDQAVN

[Hubert Rabago <hrabago@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is on Windows 2000.  I've only been able to try versions 3.044 and 3.062.
I'm not very familiar with how eclipse.org is organized and I don't
know how to find the latest/nightly builds.  Can someone point me in
the right direction?

I scanned the open Bugzilla reports for StyledText and didn't find
anything related to this, except for bug 17578, which only focuses on
reporting the error when it happens.
