Code snippet showing the problem:

Display d = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(d, SWT.RIGHT_TO_LEFT | SWT.SHELL_TRIM);
final String s = "org.eclipse.gef";
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(shell, SWT.NONE);
canvas.addPaintListener(new PaintListener() {
	public void paintControl(PaintEvent e) {
		e.gc.drawString(s, 0, 0);
	}
});
GC gc = new GC(shell);
Point p = gc.stringExtent(s);
canvas.setBounds(0, 0, p.x, p.y);
gc.dispose();
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed())
    while (!d.readAndDispatch())
        d.sleep();	


If you don't specify the SWT.RTL style in the Shell's constructor, there are 
no problems.  I could reproduce this problem only with certain fonts.  On my 
computer, the Canvas's default font is Tahoma, 8.
