Description Kevin Haaland

If no infosets are installed, the dialog "Help Error" appear
with long text descriptiong that is not wrapped.  Part of text is visible only.

NOTES:

DB (5/22/2001 11:35:27 AM)
Moving to ITPUI:
It appears that on Windows the text set on MessageDialog wraps if too long. 
On Linux, the message is simply truncated.

JEL (29/05/2001 10:18:08 AM)
To recreate this problem:
1) boot into Linux
2) before running eclipse, find the //eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.help.examples.ex1/
	directory and delete it (thus forcing no help sets to be available)
3) run eclipse
4) goto menu: Help->Help Contents
You should see the error dialog with only one line of text

	Widget does not support wrap style bit?

KK (2001-05-31 10:08:31)
	Help uses
	static org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.MessageDialog.openError(parent, title, msg);
	to display the error, and does not directlty access the widget .

KH (9/13/2001 2:28:14 PM)
	Investigate to ensure we are using the widget properly.

No plans to change current behavior.

Reopened for investigation

This is likely related to Bug 9866 but should be investigated to see if it is 
still an error. Likely due to the wrap algorithm in Linux.

Obsolete. This behaviour no longer exists.
