I've tried using FormLayout, both with my own code and the sample code in the very useful "Understanding Layouts in SWT" Eclipse Corner article.
In both case I find when I shrink the window to the point where all the widgets cannot be displayed, FormLayout starts to render some of them overlapping others. I find this behavior quite disconcerting - GridLayout allows the widgets to scroll out of view, which is more intuitive to me.
Is this a deliberate design choice in FormLayout and, if so, are there any Best Practice type notes (for example, on setting minimum size as a restriction) that would apply to this? I think users will tell me I have a bug in my UI.
I really like the power of FormLayout, for example, when you use FormAttachments, compared with GridLayout, so I would like to find the best way to deal with this.
