Comment 1 Veronika Irvine CLA 2002-09-11 14:11:36 EDT 
Is StringFieldEditor a JFace component?
Comment 2 Andy Brook CLA 2002-09-12 03:49:35 EDT 
lookup eclipse.jface.preference.StringFieldEditor et-al
Comment 3 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-10-23 12:53:17 EDT 
The problem with doing this for 2.1 is that it is an API addition - any field 
editor implementors would have to implement this as well.

Deferring until API changes are allowed.

Too bad; it's a good idea that I would like as well.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
