Build Identifier: 20110916-0149

When using the CalendarCombo with GTK/Linux it happens that the constructors of the super class add a DisposeListener to the CalendarCombo. But the init-method has not been called yet, so the field mComboControl is still null and a NullPointerException occurs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Linux/GTK
2. Try to create an instance of CalendarCombo by calling new CalendarCombo( propertyParent, SWT.DROP_DOWN )
Comment 1 Manju Mathew CLA 2012-09-10 04:10:33 EDT
I am also getting the exact same NPE. Is there any fix for this issue?
Comment 2 Wim Jongman CLA 2013-06-21 16:12:13 EDT
CalendarCombo will be archived june 30 2013.
Please update your software to use Nebula CDateTime or SWT DateTime.
Closing as WONTFIX.
