When Content Assist Window contains quite a long item displayed within 2 lines only first line of item text is visible completely. Second line is displayed just partially. See attached screenshot.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2011-12-20 04:20:16 EST 
The content assist infrastructure is built for single line entries i.e. the proposal's display string should not contain newline characters. This should be fixed by the plug-in that contributes the proposals.

Note that if colored labels get disabled, then the platform behavior is to simply remove/ignore the newlines which puts the string on one line but which might not be too readable as well. We could do the same for colored labels in org.eclipse.jface.internal.text.TableOwnerDrawSupport but this would slow down content assist for a corner case which is not even supported.
