[platform-swt-dev] GTK+3 clipping issues proposal

[Anatolijs Spektors <aspektor@xxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hello SWT devs,

 As you might know, many widgets in SWT (when running with GTK+ 3) are clipped in height and width.
 After making a research I have found that cause of the problem could be SWT implementation of SWTFixed.

 2 methods  "swt_fixed_get_preferred_width/height" set minimal and natural size  to 0, as a result SWtFixed 
 appears so small that it clips child widgets.

 I would like to propose to add functionality to this 2 methods so they calculate preferred size of widgets (only for GTK+ 3).
 Here is the bug I have opened today with the patch in it: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=403191

 I would love to hear your opinion on this issue and also on the proposed patch.

 Thanks,

 Anatoly
