A toolbar's height seems to be determined by the first toolitem. But if the
first toolitem is a seperator with a control within that seperator item, it
doesn't size tall enough for that control. Is it feasible for SWT to make
the toolbar tall enough to display the contents of that seperator?

I didn't want to submit a bug right away.

Unbelievably, there is no API in Windows to set the height of a tool item.
Please search the MSDN to confirm this. So the current hack is to control
the height using an image. I posted code recently that does this. Can you
find it or do you want me to post again?

I've found it, thanks. Unfortunately though, the toolbar requires all
images to be the same size. So as soon as I add one item with the 1x30 (30
being the height I want) picture, then all other toolitem's images are
stretched to 1x30.

Hmm...

You could stretch one of the images you add rather than adding the bogus
1x30 one.
