Description Grant Gayed CLA 2002-02-13 13:56:27 EST 
Eclipse M3, win32 or Motif

- Workbench -> Preferences
- Expand Java -> Classpath Variables
- note on this page that the label text at the top is the height of one line of 
text, but there's clearly more text to be shown (on win32 the line just ends, 
on Motif it attempts to split the space between two lines of text)

The following may be relevant:
- if you now click on the page below (Code Formatter) then back on the 
Classpath Variables page the label is now given enough height.  This is because 
the Code Formatter page forced the preferences dialog to expand, so there is 
now more space to accomodate the long label back on the Classpath Variables 
page.

Someone failed to call pack after setting the text? Please verify that it's 
not something obvious in our code, then give the UI team a crack at it.
Comment 2 Grant Gayed CLA 2002-03-04 15:12:00 EST 
The layout is being done by custom MGridLayout and MGridData objects.  This is 
probably where the problem is since the wrong behaviour appears on multiple 
platforms.  Forwarding to jdt-ui.
Comment 3 Erich Gamma CLA 2002-04-14 10:04:48 EDT 
we got rid off MGridLayout, and now the lines do not wrap at all.
Comment 4 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2002-04-15 03:59:20 EDT 
moving back to desktop
