JFace's TreeViewer - Strange alignment on first column

Question

I use a TreeViewer. I do not understand why the first column of my table has an empty space on the left. This does not depend on the column, because if I change the first column, the gap is still there. The second column is well left-aligned.

TreeViewer or TableViewer? - you say different things in the title and body of the question. — greg-449, Oct 09 '13 at 15:45

This is space left for the tree expand / collapse twistie image. The space is always reserved even if you have no children for the tree nodes.

If you don't have any children then use TableViewer.

Ok but it affects only the first column. – Manuel Campomanes Oct 10 '13 at 08:39
There is only one expand / collapse image per row, in the first column. – greg-449 Oct 10 '13 at 08:40
The solution to remove this space is to change TreeViewer to TableViewer or is there another way ? – Manuel Campomanes Oct 10 '13 at 09:10
