| 1 Known Issues</h3> |
| <h4> |
| 1.1 Available Colors on 8-bit Linux</h4> |
| |
| Typically, in Gnome Linux installs running with 8 bitplain visuals (i.e. 256 color mode), before the |
| Eclipse application is started, you already do not have any free colors. This may mean that Eclipse |
| is unable to allocate the default widget background color causing it to display a white background. |
| The functionality, however, is not affected. |
| |
| <h4> |
| 1.2 Printing Support</h4> |
| |
| The X printing extension implementation on Linux is currently disabled because |
| it can take up to 7 seconds to determine that the X print server is not running. |
| Until this is rectified, <code>Printer.getPrinterList()</code> will always return |
| an empty array on the Linux platform.</dd> |
| |
| <h4> |
| 1.3 List and ComboBox on Windows NT</h4> |
| |
| On Windows NT only, you should avoid creating items in a List or ComboBox with strings longer than 1000 characters. |
| Doing so may result in a General Protection Fault. This has been fixed in more recent versions of Windows. |
| |
| <h4> |
| 1.4 BiDi Support</h4> |
| |
| The StyledText widget now provides bidirectional language support for Hebrew and Arabic locales. |
| Currently, this support is available only on win32, and has several known problems. It should be |
| considered to be a preliminary implementation only. |
| |
| <h4> |
| 1.5 Cursor constructor arguments</h4> |
| |
| In the constructor Cursor(Device device, ImageData source, ImageData mask, int hotspotX, int hotspotY), |
| when both a source and mask argument are specified (i.e. mask is not null), the meaning of the two arguments |
| is reversed. That is, the "mask" argument should be the source image and the "source" argument should be |
| the mask image. For a description of this issue see bugzilla report #4809. |
| |
| <h4> |
| 1.6 ToolBar on Windows</h4> |
| |
| On Windows, you must create all tool bars with the FLAT style bit set. If you do not do this, |
| the "hot" (rollover) images of <em>all</em> toolbars may display incorrectly. |
| This will be fixed in a future release. |
| |
| <h4> |
| 1.7 Non ASCII strings on Linux</h4> |
| |
| On Linux RedHat 6.2 only, you will not be able to display text that contains non |
| ASCII characters. This limitation is not present on Linux RedHat 7.1 or higher. |
| |
| <h4> |
| 1.8 Using J9 VM on Photon and AIX</h4> |
| |
| On Photon and AIX, the SWT library will not be found when running with |
| the J9 VM (version 1.5). This is a bug in the J9 classes library. You |
| can workaround this problem by adding the SWT library directory to your |
| load library path. |
| |
| <h4> |
| 1.9 Javadoc not consistent across platforms</h4> |
| |
| Because of a bug in the way we updated the javadoc in our source code, |
| the javadoc for protected methods is not consistent across platforms. |
| The javadoc for the Windows platform, which is used to generate the |
| documentation that appears in the Platform Plug-in Developer guide, |
| is the definitive source. This will be fixed in a future release. |
| |
| <h4> |
| 1.10 JAWS requires MSAA for List Views to read checkboxes in Tables</h4> |
| |
| In order for JAWS to detect the checkbox information in Tables, |
| MSAA support for List Views must be activated as follows: |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open Eclipse and hit INSERT + F2. |
| <li>In the "Run JAWS Manager" dialog select "Configuration Manager". |
| <li>In the "Jaws Configuration Manager" that opens up, select "Set Options" and then select "Advanced Options". |
| <li>Check "Rely on MSAA for List views". |
| <li>Hit the OK button. |
| <li>Choose File -> Save from the menu bar. |
| </ol> |
| |
| <h4> |
| 1.11 Combo boxes with multi-line items on Linux/Motif</h4> |
| |
| The Linux implementation of Motif has a bug that causes program execution to terminate |
| if the value of an editable Combo is set through Combo.setText(String) to a string |
| that contains five or more newline characters. |
