Replace the single-level child table and the up/down navigation with a TreeViewer that shows the full SWT control hierarchy, so ancestors, siblings and descendants are visible at once and any node can be selected directly. The layout and diagnostics panels are driven by the tree selection: the layout panel shows the selected control's own layout and the diagnostics panel shows its geometry. A Refresh button re-reads the hierarchy, and selecting a node that has been disposed in the meantime now reports that instead of failing. The diagnostics also list the font and style of the selected control. A context menu on the tree copies the diagnostics of the selected node and its children to the clipboard, mirroring the CSS spy, so the data can be pasted into bug reports.

Reworks the SWT layout spy to show the full control hierarchy in a tree instead of a single-level child list, so ancestors, siblings and descendants are visible at once and any node can be selected directly. The layout and diagnostics panels follow the tree selection, and a Refresh button re-reads the hierarchy. A tree context menu copies the diagnostics of the selected node and its children to the clipboard, mirroring the CSS spy, for pasting into bug reports.
The old up/down navigation buttons and their icons are gone, since the tree makes them redundant.
