draw2d label setPreferredSize() method does not set prefSize [message #188545]

hi all,

I am trying to set the preferred size of my Label inside a flowlayout
because i want it to have a fixed sized. i tried using setPreferredSize()
method and found out while debugging that label prefSize is being set to
null always because the Figure class calls the invalidate method of the
Label class(which sets prefSize to null again) after setting the prefSize.

I am using GEF 3.1 now.

Thanks and hope someone can enlighten me on this...

Label uses that field to cache its own prefered size calculation.

You'd have to override the way it calculates preferred size to just always
return the protected field.
