Description Rodrigo Peretti CLA 2006-04-05 11:47:13 EDT 
Eclipse 3.2M6

Although it might look cool, the new error popup in wizards is very distracting. 

Here's the use case:

Create a new Java package based on an existing package name. For example, create a new package called "org.eclipse.ui.editors.text.test". Assuming "org.eclipse.ui.editors.text" already exists.

As you type, for each "." or package segment that already exists, the popup will go up and down, up and down.

It is just too distracting.

since this represents a particular case I'm reopening so we can fix seperately

fixed. the animation happens once to draw the users attention to the error area etc... then just appears and hides for the rest of the life of the page that's animating.
