Issue
I'm using both Fedora 17 and Windows 7 for my software development, and I'm using Eclipse.
One thing that I noticed with the Eclipse in Fedora 17 and in Windows 7 is the workspace. Apparently the element spacing in Fedora is much larger than in Windows 7, resulting in smaller typing area for Eclipse in Fedora than in Windows 7.
I also noticed that the large element spacing happens not only in Eclipse, but also on any Java GUI program that I run on Fedora 17.
Does anybody know how to deal with this kind of issue?
Solution
Basically because they are different OSes, and they have different UI design directives. Moreover, while you have a common interface for java UI libraries like SWT, their implementations are different on each platform and use native libraries.
