Text truncation with TextFlow solved in GMF context, bug what about GEF solely?

[Groundation]

Found that the bug with text being cut off at the end of line is solved way back in 2010:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=235549

but I am still to decipher the solution (newbie to Eclipse and GEF & Draw2D especially) but it seems it's been solved for the solutions based on GMF. In my application I only use GEF and Draw2D.

Can anybody give me a helping hand with understanding the solved issue and how I can apply the solution for my context (I would've expected the solution would be integrated with the GEF since then)?

What we found out is that using the ScaledGraphics class for drawing your figures. We added some time back the option to disable the use of ScaledGraphics when creating your rooteditpart. See the constructor of ScalableFreeformRootEditPart for example. I hope this helps.

Greetings @azoitl ! Thanks very much for your prompt answer.

I have just disabled ScaledGraphics in my editor when setting the root edit part GraphApp.setRootEditPart(new ScalableFreeformRootEditPart(false)) as you suggested and indeed the text is not being truncated anymore! Thanks! Was getting quite frustrated with this one.

I do however see some very subtle changes in the way the things are drawn without ScaledGraphics when zoom in, but I doubt it will affect the editors interface in any major way.

Much thanks.

Great that this is the solution. Yes the drawing is bit different but how I experienced it in Eclipse 4diac the normal graphics looks better and cleaner.
