[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: gap in leftmost column background color

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This looks like a bug so I've logged
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=224954 .  Unfortunately I
can't think of a workaround to suggest here, other than to hide the bug by
giving all of your items a column 0 image so that the gap in the background
colour looks intentional (for the image).
