Hi,

I am using a combination of DLUs and compuzeSize() to set the initial
Size of my Dialogs:

int dialogMinWidth = 400;
Point bestShellSize =
getShell().computeSize(convertHorizontalDLUsToPixels(dialogM inWidth),
SWT.DEFAULT);

Now I received a message from a user, that some dialogs are spanning
more than the entire
width of the screen. They should'nt. Normally these dialogs have about
400px width.

Since I am using an old JFace version (3.0 M5), did some development in
SWT (I am always using the
latest versions) maybe brake with the old Api?

Also note the bug report

[Dialogs] Contents of dialogs to wide to be fully displayed with
non-standard desktop theme
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=81055).

But this user is not running any Theme on his PC.
