[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Table/TableEditor flicker problem - 3.2.1 on

[Francis Upton <francisu@xxxxxxxx>]

The snippet below works fine on Windows XP, but flickers quite a bit (to 
the point of being unusable on Linux/GTK2).

Any ideas, or should I file a bug?

Also, my real objective here is to embed a Link within a table item.  I 
have been having JFace TableViewer which was working fine, but I could 
not get the Link working with it.  I tried to make a custom CellEditor 
(extending the abstract CellEditor class), but it did not seem to get 
invoked properly to create my custom control.

Any ideas on the best way to proceed in putting a link in a table?

Thanks,

Francis
