I'm new to SWT/JFace, but been doing GUIs in awt/swing/mfc for years.
I'm getting some behavior that seems strange to me, I can't figure
out if I'm doing something wrong or if something is broken.
I'd attach screenshots...but I doubt they would make it through.
Basically, adding one text field totally changes the vertical
space consumed by the container. The supringing part is that
the container actually gets SMALLER!
If you run the attached example, it will create a minimal shell
and show a wizard on it. Look at all that blank space! I don't
know why so much blank space is rendered in the WizardPage.
Next, cancel the wizard and another comes up - it is almost
identical except I added one more text field. You'll see that the
wizard gets smaller!
Note that there is a 2-column layout. This example is trimmed down
from what we are actually trying to build - but this behavior has got
us scratching our heads.
Any ideas?
What am I missing?
TIA,
Chris
