[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: How to set different fonts into the same

["Lynne Kues" <lynne_kues@xxxxxxx>]

Paul, regarding your statement below:

"just note that after you have set a StyleRange of length N, the StyledText
widget will behind the scenes break it
into N StyleRanges of length 1)."

could you please give me a snippet of code that demonstrates this problem?
I'm curious as to what conditions lead to this behavior.  The only
manipulation of style ranges that the StyledText widget does is to merge
styles - not break up styles, so I don't quite understand how this is
occurring. But if what you say is indeed occurring, this is a bug.
