[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Table width and scroll bars

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It could be an swt bug since the horizontal scrollbar should not appear
unless it's actually needed, but this must not be the case if subsequently
making the view smaller makes the scrollbar go away.  I can't get a simple
case to do this on win2000 though, so it may be context-specific (or you're
on a different platform?) (or you're on an older swt?).  Are you able to
make this happen in the snippet below (the Table auto-resizes to always fill
the Shell)?  And if not, can the snippet show it by changing its Table to
more closely resemble yours?

public static void main(String[] args) {
    final Display display = new Display();
    final Shell shell = new Shell(display);
    shell.setBounds(10,10,200,200);
    shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
    final Table table = new Table(shell, SWT.NONE);
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        new TableItem(table, SWT.NONE).setText("item asfdas asdf asdfasd " +
i);
    }
    shell.open();
    while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
        if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
    }
    display.dispose();
}
