Can you attach to this bug or e-mail to me the context file you are using so I can try to reproduce.
Comment 3 Samuel Wu CLA 2011-03-04 13:01:14 EST 
The preference page Spelling is in the Eclipse SDK. It can be accessed by General > Editors > Text Editors > Spelling.

It looks as though you are running on Linux, is that correct? I cannot reproduce the problem on Windows but on RHEL 5 using and Eclipse 3.6.1 build I do see the layout issue. I have so far been unable to reproduce this using a recent Eclipse 3.7 build on RHEL 5. There was one FormText layout bug which was fixed in Eclipse 3.7 which may be related, can you try out a recent Eclipse 3.7 build and let  me know if you see the same problem?

I'm on Windows XP. 
The F1 help looks fine when it first appears. The problem happens when you narrow down the width of the dialog

I was able to reproduce on Windows using Eclipse 3.6. I still cannot reproduce using Eclipse 3.7 Can you try a recent Eclipse 3.7 build?
Comment 7 Samuel Wu CLA 2011-03-04 15:08:06 EST 
You are right, Chris. I can't reproduce the problem in 3.7 M5 either.
