Hello

I have put 12 checkboxes into a container under Grid-Layout control,
into 3 columns and 4 rows, and didn't set the vHints for none of them.

Under Linux this look fine, but then on Solaris/Motif the checkboxes
are created with upper and lower margin that about the the sam height
of the label next to the checkbox, so the height of the widget is 3
times as high as the checkbox label.

This on Solaris ends up in a messy dialog. Of course I could resize
the dialog to be bigger, but then I would have half-empty dialogs on
Linux.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug of SWT?

Regards,
Zox

The form or enter a bug report with them. That's better.
