Created attachment 182166 [details] screenshot of dialog on my machine I don't see this problem on my machine.
We can reproduce this problem on all our machines. We can show you without a problem.
(In reply to comment #3) > We can reproduce this problem on all our machines. I've tried this with several drivers but I still can't reproduce it. Which windows are you on? Are you able to reproduce it with just Open RSE (i.e. outside of your product)?
It can be reproduced with Eclipse+RSE outside our product. On both windows XP and Vista
On a machine where this could be reproduced, I created a new folder with a long filename and, via the Windows Explorer, opened up it's Properties dialog to reproduce the same problem. Therefore this is not specifically and RSE or Eclipse problem.
I understand that the name will be partially displayed if the control is not big enough to display the whole string. But the problem we reported is a different case. There is still plenty room in the field but the host name is partially displayed.
This is a weird but known issue with SWT/JFace. Under unknown circumstances, it seems that the text if drawn inside the box before the control expanded to it's full size. We have this very often and in almost any kind of dialog. The issue is not RSE specific. Not sure if there is an bugzilla for this, I haven't had time to search for it.
Can we try to narrow this down: - Problem is that the text inside the combo is shifted too far to the left - It happens only on Windows - It happens only in combo boxes Correct thus far? - Dave, could you attach a screenshot of the issue you've seen in the properties dialog of Windows Explorer? Samuel, in your screenshot I notice that you seem to have the "Windows 2000 style" desktop - your Window minimize/resize/close buttons are not XP style. This could be related to the issue, although (as Uwe mentions) I have also seen similar problems on other controls on Windows XP style too.
It actually looks like this is a duplicate of bug 277618.
Samuel and Dave, what is your respective host Eclipse? Looking at bug 277618, it seems like the issue was OK in Eclipse 3.4.1 then failed in 3.5, was fixed in 3.6 but reappeared in 3.6.1

We have not seen this problem in the switch-workspace scenario as described in bug 277618 yet, neither eclipse 3.6.0+ RSE 3.2.0 nor Eclipse 3.6.1 + RSE 3.2.1. The only problem we noticed so far was the host field. We can reproduce it only with 3.6.1+ RSE 3.2.1. Tried 3.6.0 +RSE 3.2.1 and 3.6.0+RSE 3.2.0 and failed to reproduce the problem. Is there anything special with this combo? The other combos work fine. Wonder whether something special in the combo hits some boundary condition.
I do not think anything is special to the combo, since others have seen the same problem in other places. Maybe it's a race condition of some sort since it's so hard to reproduce. Anyways, looks like evidence is pretty clear that this is in fact a duplicate of bug 277618 since you see it on 3.6.1 but not on 3.6 - let's hope a fix gets into 3.6.2. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 277618 ***
