Wassim, see if this is the same as those you already fixed.

Can reproduce defect also on Linux RH and SuSE. Just open the Eclipse update 
site and select a category. Does not lay out properly.

Fixed.  Look for the fix in the 2.0 F2 driver.

Here is a brief explanation of what was causing the problem on platforms other 
than Windows:
Our implementation creates only ONE instance of the Category form, and every 
time the user clicks on a different site category, we update the header of that 
form and the body text with those of the currently selected category.  We then 
refresh the page and its components.
This worked fine on Windows, but not on other platforms.
On those platforms, with every new category selection, when we called the 
method setText(newText) on the text label, the text label's width and height 
were not being resized.  That is why you see words wrapping around.  Its' 
because the new (longer) text does not fit properly within the boundaries of 
the original text label.

I fixed the problem as follows:
Every time the user changes the selection of the category, I dispose the old 
text label, and create a new one with the new text inside it.
