Realign ragged-left TableEditor after update [message #1708612]

Dear list,

I injected a TableEditor inside a SWT Table, with ragged-left alignment (SWT.RIGHT).
Something like:

final TableEditor editor = new TableEditor(table);
editor.horizontalAlignment = SWT.RIGHT;
editor.setEditor(toDisplay, item, 1);

toDisplay is a 2x1 GridLayout composite with two children:

a dynamic Label
a button

My issue is: when the dynamic label updates (gets wider), the toDisplay wrapper composite shifts outside of the table column instead of realigning as a good ragged-left boy [a screenshot of this behaviour is attached].

Layout data for both children is set via:

GridDataFactory.fillDefaults().create()

The button has a SelectionListeners which updates the text, then lays-out the parent composite.

It seems all combinations of .pack() and .layout() do not affect the editor.
Any idea of what might help?

Thanks for the help,
-Piero

Solution is: re-set the minimum width of the TableEditor and re-lay it out:

editor.minimumWidth = composite.computeSize(SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.DEFAULT).x;
editor.layout();
