Description John Arthorne CLA 2006-06-22 09:46:07 EDT 
Build: Eclipse 3.2

The quick fix dialog that is opened from the problems view has some layout problems:

 1) The initial width of the dialog is huge. It fills most of the width of my screen.  It appears to be sizing the dialog to fit the description line at the top (which could easily wrap). This could be related to my larger font size.
 2) If I resize the dialog, it doesn't remember the new size in the dialog settings for next time I open it.
 3) The columns in the table aren't layed out to fill the entire table, leaving a large amount of empty space on the right of the table.
 3) The columsn aren't resizeable. If the column is too narrow I can't see all the information.

I will attach a screen shot to illustrate.

more layout problems

There are still more layout problems with this dialog as illustrated by this screenshot:
* The list of possible fixes doesn't have a vertical scrollbar, if the item list is longer than can be displayed.
* The table of problems should resize if the dialog height changes, but it does not (see the empty space at the dialog bottom).
