[RESOLVED] Toolbar is painted last causing part stack to move down [message #1793283]

Hello,
I have an ugly problem where the toolbar is painted last causing the partstack to move down after the window is visible. I have tried setting breakpoints and debugging the workbench open without success.

The top of the part stack is painted right below the main menu bar. Then the top trim bar (with the toolbar) is inserted between the main menu bar and the part stack, causing the part stack to be moved down.

BTW: I noticed my eclipse IDE (Photon latest code) has the same behavior.

What is the best way to debug this issue?

Thanks.

I am hoping some of the experts in this forum can help me. After painstaking debugging for hours, I see that runDeferredLayouts() in the Display class is what causes the Top TrimBar (and the tool bars within it) to be painted. That causes the main PartStack to be resized. How can this be avoided? How can the TrimBars be laid out before the windows opens?

Hello,
After a couple of days of painstaking troubleshooting, I was able to figure out the reason for this shit and fix it. When the 3.x layer is in control of the E4 startup, the application is lauched by calling

PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(display, new AppWorkbenchAdvisor());

This eventually lands startup execution in the following method in the WBWRenderer class:

 public void postProcess(MUIElement shellME)

Within this method there is a call to a method called "forceLayout(shell)". This method is as follows:

private void forceLayout(Shell shell) {
		int i = 0;
		while(shell.isLayoutDeferred()) {
			shell.setLayoutDeferred(false);
			i++;
		}
		while(i > 0) {
			shell.setLayoutDeferred(true);
			i--;
		}
	}

Solution:
Create a custom workbench renderer, and create a method similar to postProcess and remove the call to the "forceLayout(shell)" method. That causes all the trim bars to be laid out, before the shell is opened and made visible.
