[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: StyledText not working on Red Hat

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

SWT.CENTER is not a style that StyledText officially takes (see the class
javadoc).  You can set its alignment with StyledText.setAlignment(...).  I'm
not sure why this behaviour difference exists between win32 and gtk.

That being said, looking at your example, perhaps using a Link widget would
make more sense?  It would at least set the pointer image appropriately when
the user hovered over your link.
