Description Rüdiger Herrmann CLA 2009-06-15 08:33:35 EDT 
In order to work the same as in SWT, there is a WidgetLCAUtil#replaceNewLines( text, "<br/>" ) missing in CLabelLCA#writeText()
See this example:
  CLabel label = new CLabel( shell, SWT.BORDER );
  label.setText( "First line\n\tSecond Line" );

Comment 2 Ralf Sternberg CLA 2009-08-05 10:59:28 EDT 
Fixed in CVS HEAD.
Besides applying the patch, it was also necessary to change TextSizeDetermination#stringExtent() to the multi-line capable method TextSizeDetermination.textExtent().
