Is FigureCanvas doing something that a normal SWT Canvas is not in
relation to it's bounds? If I run the following snippet there is a
margin around the FigureCanvas that doesn't allow for me to put 2
FigureCanvases next to each other sharing a border, there's always a gap.

Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
StackLayout layout = new StackLayout();
shell.setLayout(layout);

Composite composite = new Composite(shell, SWT.NONE);
GridLayout gridLayout = new GridLayout();
gridLayout.horizontalSpacing = 0;
gridLayout.verticalSpacing = 0;
composite.setLayout(gridLayout);

FigureCanvas canvas = new FigureCanvas(composite);
canvas.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH));
canvas.setBackground(display.getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_RED));

canvas = new FigureCanvas(composite);
canvas.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH));
canvas.setBackground(display.getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_RED));

layout.topControl = composite;

shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch())
display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();

If I change this from being FigureCanvas and use just a Canvas the two
widgets are right up against each other without any spacing.

I'm running Eclipse 3.1 and GEF 3.1RC4.

Thanks,
Brad

Previously I was running this on OS X and had the issue. When I run it
on WinXP it works fine. I'm going to dig into this to see what the
difference is.

OS X is reserving space for the Focus Ring. This is a faint border that is
painted when the canvas has keyboard focus.

Thanks for the response. But why isn't this visible with a simple SWT
canvas? Is there a style that I'm missing when testing the Canvas?

There is some magical combination which causes it to appear. I think it
involves the presence of a KeyListener and maybe scrollbars.
