Hi,

I am trying to get word wrap working in a TabbedPropertySheet containing a Editable Text field that must have WordWrap enabled.

My code looks like this:

    MyPropSec extends AbstractPropertySection
 [...]
public void createControls(Composite parent, TabbedPropertySheetPage aTabbedPropertySheetPage) {
  [...]
        FormToolkit toolkit = new FormToolkit(parent.getDisplay());
        Form form = toolkit.createForm(parent);
        form.setSeparatorVisible(true);
        GridLayout body_gd = new GridLayout(1, false);
        form.getBody().setLayout(body_gd);

        section = toolkit.createSection(form.getBody(), ExpandableComposite.EXPANDED | ExpandableComposite.LEFT_TEXT_CLIENT_ALIGNMENT);
        GridData gd = new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true, 1, 1);
        section.setLayoutData(gd);
        toolkit.paintBordersFor(section);
        section.setText(sectionText);
        section.setExpanded(true);
        section.setEnabled(true);
        section.setLayout(new FillLayout());

        fieldText = new Text(section, SWT.WRAP);
   [...]

At first this looks ok, but if I resize the PropertyTab the text is not wrapped anymore (resize used width of non-wrapped text).

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks for your help,
