Description Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2013-04-30 15:05:29 EDT 
SWT from HEAD, GTK 2.x, Ubuntu 12.04. Didn't try other Linux.

Run Snippet12. The call to text.setTopIndex(30) does nothing (the control remains scrolled to the bottom).  If you add a keydown listener and call setTopIndex() inside the listener, it works fine. Or run Snippet243, which calls setTopIndex() in a verifytext listener - that works, also.

Snippet12 works fine on both Mac and Windows.

Saw this on Solaris Sparc also.

I'm not sure I understand...isn't setTopIndex(30) supposed to scroll the widget to the bottom?

Going to close this one for now, if a more concrete issue pops up we can fix it then.
