Description Judy van Aswegen

2008-11-30 17:52:30 EST

Builds: Eclipse SDK Mac OSX Cocoa N20081126-2000 (compared to Carbon N20081126-2000)

In the context of the SWT Controls Example, re the DateTime control:

Carbon may be smarter when it comes to displaying the Date style. 

Carbon: Using the default font, and size 10 x 10 plus Horizontal Fill, the date is quite legible - it appears as if the control is shrunk and numerals are centered.

Cocoa: Using the default font, and size 10 x 10 plus Horizontal Fill, the date is illegible - it appears as if a "Preferred" size Date control has been unskillfully cropped.

Could this be symptomatic of a difference in implementation on a broader level? For example, change in size being implemented as scale versus crop-or-pad a default size. What does size specify for Carbon (size of the widget?); what does it specify for Cocoa (size of area in which a default sized-widget appears?). See related Bug 256950.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

@Lakshmi: Can this be closed? It is related to unsupported WS Carbon. Is it triaged for Cocoa?
