Does the issue occur also on the Java > Compiler preference page?

Veronika, is this a general SWT combo issue as it appears independently in PDE 
and JDT?

Comment 6 Veronika Irvine 2004-09-29 10:15:24 EDT

The Windows native combo widget always makes the drop down list the same width 
as the widget regardless of the length of the strings in the list.   However, 
computeSize(SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.DEFAULT) of Combo should be wide enough to show 
the longest string in the list.  According to the GridData for the Combo in 
the PDE Compilers preference page (GridData {horizontalAlignment=SWT.BEGINNING 
verticalAlignment=GridData.CENTER}) the default size of the widget should be 
what is used here.

There are two possibilities. 1) Combo.computeSize(SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.DEFAULT) is 
not returning the correct result 2) After the preference page has been laid 
out, more items are added to the Combo and the preference page is not being 
forced to layout again.

Wassim, Can you test possibility #2 by calling tabfolder.layout(true) after 
you have added all the strings to Combo? (Note that calling combo.getParent
().layout(true) will not be sufficient since the parent of the Combo also has 
to become larger and calling combo.getShell().layout(true) is not sufficient 
because the tabfolder will not change size and thus will not layout its 
children.)

Felipe, I ran the French version and it looked OK.  Can you look into 
possibility #1?

This problem was found running only on local korean machine.  The problem is 
not there if I pull up the korean locale on an english machine.

Thanks Veronika.
Without making any changes to the code, I tried using arbitrarily very long 
(English) strings, and the combo box was correctly sized.

I then tried #1 (i.e. folder.layout(true)), and I also saw the correct size of 
the combos.

Both my scenarios were tested on XP.  Problem was reported on Win2K, so I'm 
not sure if this has anything to do with this.
