| Scrollbar not appearing at startup [message #534184] |

Hello peoples,
I have a ScrolledForm, and a number of nested Sections (with FillLayouts),
which have nested Composites with GridLayouts.
At the start of the app, the editor appears without a vertical scrollbar,
even though the content of the editor is way past the bottom of the visible
area.
When I hide the top section, and re-expand it, then the vertical scroll bar
appears on the editor.
Am I building this form wrong? Would it be better to use TableWrapLayout?
Any ideas as to why the vertical scroll bar doesn't appear after the form is
initially rendered?
Thanks
Greg

Using:
Composite formBody = form.getBody();
formBody.setLayout(new TableWrapLayout());
solves the problem. Maybe when dealing with forms, the most natural layout
is the TableWrapLayout, makes sense, as the Forms UI is meant to resemble
HTML.
