ScrolledComposite scrolling versus Canvas scrolling [message #446993]

I posted an item on the weekend in the hopes that it would attract the
attention of Veronika Irvine in Ottawa..I wasn't asking for detailed
debugging support for Vex, but included the context for reference as an
example of a substantial Eclipse editor.

What I need from the forum, is direction on whether an apparently
deep-seated problem could be connected to the reason you recommend that
people avoid ScrolledComposite.

At the core of the Vex Editor, the VexWidget class is defined as:

public class VexWidget
extends Canvas
implements IVexWidget, ISelectionProvider {

public VexWidget(Composite parent, int style) {
super(parent, style);
this.impl = new VexWidgetImpl(hostComponent);

this.setBackground(this.getDisplay().getSystemColor(SWT.COLO R_WHITE));
this.addFocusListener(this.focusListener);
this.addKeyListener(this.keyListener);
this.addMouseListener(this.mouseListener);
this.addMouseMoveListener(this.mouseMoveListener);
this.addPaintListener(this.painter);

ScrolledComposite sc = getScrolledComposite();
if (sc != null) {
addControlListener(this.controlListener);
}
}

.... }

The class is too large to include in the post and it should work
right out of the box from cvs.sourceforge.net.

The part I need help with is:

"What questions should I ask to determine whether ScrolledComposite
is the source of my grief when I edit extremely large files?"

For now I think I'll run in the debugger and trap calls to methods
that look like they would have to change to switch to Canvas.scroll().

See my reply in your original post. Too busy fixing bugs and adding
