Hi,

I'm running eclipse/GEF 3.1M7.

I use standard labels for tool tips. The tooltip displays as expected and
shows 99% of the text but it's allways ends with '...'.

Looking at Label#getSubStringText() at line:

int widthShrink = getPreferredSize().width - getSize().width;

widthShrink is allways 2, ie the prefarred width is two greater that the
bounds. This results in the text being clipped and ellipses being added.

I've just run up the red book Workflow Model demo (SAL330) and it's tool
tips show the same problem.

Any ideas?

Steve.

On Linux? That's probably because of this:

If you're seeing this on Windows as well, open a new bug report against GEF.
If you can provide a small snippet showing the problem in the Draw2d label
that would be great.
