Prior to PR #2241,
Table.sendMeasureItemEvent
was only invoked when the tooltip was not a CustomTooltip. However, after that change,sendMeasureItemEvent()
is now called for all tooltips.This results in an unintended side effect:
sendMeasureItemEvent()
compares the item's width(obtained fromTableItem.getBounds()
) to the width of column it is present in (obtained fromOS.LVM_GETCOLUMNWIDTH
) and sometimes concludes incorrectly that the item doesn't fit. This causes an unnecessary scrollbar to appear, even though the item is fully contained within the column.While the root cause is possibly in how column item width is calculated (which should be addressed separately), this change acts as a fix to prevent scrollbars from appearing erroneously.
This workaround aligns with the original behavior prior to PR #2241 as sendMeasureItemEvent would not be called for non customToolTip and restores expected UI behavior for now.
