[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: compare two StyleRange[ ]'s

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you're getting StyleRanges for an individual character each time then the
result of getStyleRanges(int,int,boolean) will always be an array of size 1.
You should then be able to use a[0].similarTo(b[0]), no?
