Description Janees Elamkulam CLA 2007-11-20 05:49:48 EST
"Include Paths" field in the C/C++ project properties should be larger so that it takes up all available space.  Currently, the field can only show 7 lines at a time, even though there is a lot of empty space beneath the field.  This makes it difficult for customers to look at the list as a whole, and forces them to scroll in order to see the entire list.  Currently, the field cannot be resized.

To see the problem:
1.  Create a new C/C++ project in Eclipse
2.  Right-click on the project in the Project Explorer and choose "Properties".
3.  In the Properties dialog, highlight "C/C++ Build" from the list on the left.
4.  Select the "Settings" tab.
5.  Under the heading "Cygwin C++ Compiler" highlight "Directories".
6.  Notice that the "Include Paths" field can only display 7 lines at a time, even though there is additional empty space beneath the field.  It is not possible to resize the field.
