Description Markus Keller CLA 2010-05-28 09:45:41 EDT 
HEAD, follow-up to bug 312315

It's unexpected that TableItem/TreeItem#getBounds() is quite different from TableItem/TreeItem#getBounds(int), since that's not the case for other #get*() and #get*(int) APIs. The Javadoc of #getBounds() should at least have an @see #getTextBounds(int).

I don't know what the method does if the Table/Tree has no columns, but if it's always the same as getTextBounds(0), that info would make the API more easily understandable.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
