We do not support arbitrary font changes - 28 point is much larger than our supported sizes.

This should be tested with High Contrast at 1152x768 with default settings. Eclipse does not support lower resolutions.

marking REMIND pending confirmation of bug at these settings.

If/When addressed:
Please make sure to attach the 3.3 patch, and risk assesment for a 3.2.2
backport.

I am re-opening this bug since, as was described in bug 177434, we may be able to do minor tweaks to clean this up a bit. Tod or I will take a look at the code during M7.

To be blunt: The number of our (i.e. the Eclipse SDK's) users that run in this mode is so few that we should not be spending significant amounts of time on these issues. If there are Eclipse based products that need them to be fixed, they *must* get personally involved (i.e. they should start the process of getting commit rights for someone on their team who would be responsible for making the changes).

Thank you Mike and Tod for looking into these bugs.
Comment 5 Tod Creasey CLA 2007-04-03 16:29:26 EDT 
Raji could you attach a screenshot? The only issue I see is that the list is a little narrow (although it has a scrollbar).

There are pages with issues - I was wondering which ones you were referring to.

Patch

This patch adds scrollbars to a preference page when it gets too big to display on the screen.

I would consider this fix moderate risk for a patch to 3.2.2 as I am not sure if there is going to be some strange cases where the scrollbars show up more often than they should.

I just opened this bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=245159

before I saw this one.  The scrollbars are a great help, but the controls are not made visible when a user traverses them via keyboard.  As I mention in the bug report, it looks like this can be resolved by adding one line by using new API available in 3.4 for ScrolledComposite:

public void setShowFocusedControl(boolean show)

Could someone please take a look?
