Description Scott Walden CLA 2007-11-21 12:50:50 EST 
Very long error messages which are displayed in the problems view are difficult to read.  When you click to show the properites of the error listed, it currently shows a very short single line of text, so you have to scroll many times to try to read the message.  Please provide a multi-line text box which would wrap the text.  This would make it much easier to view the message without endless scrolling.  You could provide the multi-line text box in the list, also in the properties page for the error.  Also, when you hover over the message, the hover help should also wrap around too.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
