Crosspost from Stack Overflow:

I am trying to do something that should be absolutely trivial, namely add a product version number to an RCP application's splash screen. So my code looks like this:
    class ARMSplashHandler extends EclipseSplashHandler {
      private Font font; 
      private int heightInPx = 12;
    
      private int fontHeightInPt(Display display, int heightInPx) {
        return 72 * heightInPx / display.getDPI().y;
      }
    
      @Override void init(Shell splash) {
        Product product = Platform.getProduct();
        Display display = splash.getDisplay();
        FontData fontData = splash.getFont.getFontData()[0];
        fontData.setHeight(fontHeightInPt(display, fontHeightInPx));
        font = new Font(display, fontData);
        splash.setBackgroundMode(SWT.INHERIT_DEFAULT);
        splash.setText(product.getName());
        splash.setFont(font);
        String version = "v"+product.getDefiningBundle().getHeaders().get("Bundle-Version");
        String versionLocString = product.getProperty("versionLocation");
        String versionColorString = product.getProperty("versionColor");
        Rectangle versionLoc = StringConverter.asRectangle(versionLocString, new Rectangle(405, 260, 45, 12));
        Color versionColor = new Color(display, StringConverter.asRGB(versionColorString, new RGB(193, 202, 212)));
        CLabel versionLabel = new CLabel(splash, SWT.CENTER | SWT.BORDER);
        versionLabel.setForeground(versionColor);
        versionLabel.setFont(font);
        versionLabel.setBounds(versionLoc);
        versionLabel.setText(version);
        
        splash.addDisposeListener(new DisposeListener {
          void widgetDisposed(DisposeEvent e) { 
            versionColor.dispose();
            font.dispose();
          }
        });
        super.init(splash);
      }

This works fine (except for a problem on Mac I'll ask about in a separate question; of course, the border is just for debugging):

But if I replace `CLabel` with `Label`, this happens:

It isn't centered, as expected. If I set alignment to `RIGHT` (which is what I really want), it disappears completely. Initially I thought the problem simply was that there isn't enough space, but increasing height of the rectangle only fixes vertical centering, and the width is certainly large enough:

Is this somehow expected behavior? Or an SWT bug (I certainly don't expect there to be one in something this basic)?
