    Label being displayed differently in KDE/Gnome

    Hi,

    So I ran a software in both KDE and Gnome respectively and it seems both of them have separate displays. By that I mean, one is displaying a part of the string(a Label) and the other is not displaying the string at all. I will include some relevant information such as the software uses SWT kit. Also the string is displayed perfect in Windows. If it's still not clear I will sum it up in a sentence. I am trying to display a label using SWT kit and, its being displayed correctly on Windows,partially correct on KDE(Half of the string) and not displayed on Gnome.

    I have tried GridDat.grabExcessHorizontalSpace=true, but it didn't. I have no idea how to approach the problem otherwise?

    Thanks.

    Is this Windows software being run on Linux (via Wine)?

    No the software has different versions for Windows and Linux respectively..but the code for GUI os the same( since SWT is "almost" platform independent)

    Ok. You are using the software widget toolkit for GTK2, correct? Well, that's about as much as I know! Sorry, but I am clueless here. Most GUI programming I do is either Xtk, Motif, or Qt. I haven't seen this problem with Qt.
