screenshot of the modifed snippet

I have the requirement to implement an editable table using the SWT Table.
There exist good example, how to do this using TableCursor and TableEditor. An
additional requirement is to be able to color the table cells individually.
Here a nasty problem shows up. The background color of one cell of the first
column is not filling the whole cell. Only the text of the cell is drawn with
the correct background color. The rest of the cell is white.

The same phenomenon shows up in the example snipped provided at
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet124.java

I just changed the code to use a background color for each TableItem.
changed from:
    for (int i=0; i<3; i++) {
        TableItem item = new TableItem (table, SWT.NONE);
        item.setText(new String [] {"" + i, "" + i , "" + i});
    }
changed to:
    Color color = display.getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_RED);
    for (int i=0; i<3; i++) {
        TableItem item = new TableItem (table, SWT.NONE);
        item.setText(new String [] {"" + i, "" + i , "" + i});
        item.setBackground(color);
    }
