So how VIRTUAL are you?
Steve Northover and I were talking this morning about some of the extra support (and fixes) we want to do in the JFace VIRTUAL support in 3.2.
One use case we hear about is that when you scroll enough on a Table it populates so much that the Table is effectively a normal Table.
If you had 1,000,000 entries this would be a problem. But does anyone actually have this case? I would be interested to hear if there is a product out there that users will periodically overpopulate thier table with scrolling.
There is one case I can see that is easy to get - that is a shift-selecting the whole table (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=98248).
