A Label does not resize itself after changing text using the method
setText() in GEF 3.1. Neither revalidate or validate change the size to
accommodate the new text. The only way to solve this issue is to call:
label.setSize(label.getPreferredSize());
Is this the intended behaviour? If this is the case don't you think that it
is more complicated and far less intuitive that the 3.0 behaviour.

Are you saying this was working in 3.0 and now does not in 3.1? What is the
layout of the label's parent container?

Thank you for your reply.

Yes.

I don't know. The parent container is the IFigure obtained using:
GraphicalEditPolicy.getLayer(LayerConstants.FEEDBACK_LAYER);

The parent must be validated to position the child. If the parent is the
feedback layer, it has no layout so validate is a no-op.
In 3.0, most figures had a bogus default size of 64x32. Maybe this is the
difference?
