Description Benjamin Muskalla CLA 2009-11-04 08:28:31 EST 
Whitespaces in combo items are not escaped and thus ignored on the client side.

package asd;

import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridData;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Combo;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;

public class Foo {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Display display = new Display();
		Shell shell = new Shell(display);
		shell.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, false));

		Combo combo = new Combo(shell, SWT.DROP_DOWN);
		combo.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.CENTER, true, false));
		combo.setItems(new String[] {"foo", "   foo", "         foo"});
		

		shell.pack();
		shell.open();
		while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
			if (!display.readAndDispatch())
				display.sleep();
		}
		display.dispose();
	}
}

This works as expected on SWT (GTK).
