[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: How to force scrollbars visible in a Tab

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dave, sorry for the late response,

There isn't a style that allows you to change this behaviour.  There is
actually some inconsistency between the platforms on this issue (eg.- see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=199441 for a request to change
OSX to stop behaving like what you're asking for).

It may be worth logging a bug with SWT requesting that this be made
consistent across the platforms one way or the other.  If this can be done
then it may be possible to add api in the future to change this behaviour to
the opposite (scrollbars always visible <=> scrollbars visible iff needed).
