It seems related to the count of characters comprising the sum of all column
headers, at a certain point for a table the column hearder text will get
truncated. Somehwere around 2470 characters. I tried this in 2 different
applications, one is the application I am working and another is just a
SWTSnippet like example both fail in aproximately the same count of
characters.

public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display ();
Shell shell = new Shell (display);
shell.setLayout(new GridLayout());
Table table = new Table (shell, SWT.VIRTUAL | SWT.MULTI | SWT.BORDER |
SWT.FULL_SELECTION);
table.setLinesVisible (true);
table.setHeaderVisible (true);
GridData data = new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true);
data.heightHint = 200;
table.setLayoutData(data);
int item=0;
int charCnt = 0;
// truncates on win32 at around 2470 characters
for(int x=0;x<900;x++)
{
TableColumn column = new TableColumn (table, SWT.NONE);
StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer();
b.append(item++);
column.setText (b.toString());
charCnt+=b.toString().length();
column.setToolTipText(Integer.toString(charCnt));
}
int tCnt = table.getColumnCount();
for (int i=0; i<tCnt; i++)
{
table.getColumn (i).pack ();
}
shell.pack ();
shell.open ();
while (!shell.isDisposed ()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
}
display.dispose ();

}
