RE: [platform-swt-dev] patch for gtk2 binding

I am
going to start taking a look at it this evening. I
will
try to
the best of my ability to avoid the rocks until I understand
their
location and the best approach for avoidance 8-)

Jeff,
You
are very welcome to work on Text, as currently nobody is doing it.
There are some underwater rocks that we will
have to discuss when you are at writing certain pieces of the widget.
For example, the semantics of modification and selection change events
in SWT, are somewhat tricky. Also, we will have to agree on exactly how
we pass/answer Strings; this is an area that is changing right now, and we
need to have a complete agreement so it's consistent from widget to
widget.

I would be interested in replacing GtkText with GtkTextView
in the
Text widget. Of
course this would not be a good choice if somebody
is already working on this or if this needs to be completed
within the
next week. I
believe this would also fix bug #21452.

Jeffrey: If you find something that you are comfortable with
fixing, by all means go and do it. Don't hesitate to ask us in the
middle. SWT has a lot of quirks that exist because of historical
reasons, and are not documented anywhere.
Speaking of the ProgressBar
patch: the change is good. Apart from getting rid of deprecated
API is good in itself, it also fixes a problem with ProgressBar causing
crashes on some broken themes.
