Re: [platform-ui-dev] NavigatorContent override and getStyledText

[Boris Bokowski <bokowski@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rickard,

Can you please file a bug for this, under Eclipse Platform UI?

(The appropriate venue for your question would have been the
newsgroups/forums: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/)

Thanks!
Boris
