Fedora 8 GTK 32bit behavior

The SWT API behavior differs greatly when running on Mac OS X:

Calling getClientArea() on a Scrollable, e.g. a List, returns different y-Coordinates for the rectangle representing the client area, as soon as the Scrollable is scrolled to display a list item.

See the attached screenshots for further information: I used Fedora 8 GTK 32bit and Windows 2008 32bit as reference platforms to show the "normal" behavior. In addition to that I started the same application on Mac OS X 10.6 Cocoa.

I "produced" the output as follows:
 - launch the snippet application, re-size it to show only e.g. 4 items, place it to the top (to avoid too big screen coordinates - easier to read and understand ;) )
 - select the first item 0 and successively select item n + 1 and so on
 - as soon as the scrolling starts (In my case item 3) the behavior differs on Mac OS X
