Property window

when opening an Eclipse Editor,the property window first column should be maximized of its maximum property name.ie.All the first column in the property window should be visible to the user at the startup of Eclipse editor.

In GEF ,we have option for setting the maximum size for the property window in the view .
IFolderLayout right = factory.createFolder("Right", IPageLayout.RIGHT, 0.20f, factory.getEditorArea());
right.addView(IPageLayout.ID_PROP_SHEET);

but we dont have option to adjust/change the columns inside the property window.
the column is visible by adjusting to maximum property name participant reference.see attach...

GEF really needs this feauture...

This issue is with the properties view and not GEF.

You can resubmit the issue on the platform UI team if you desire, but this is how the properties view has worked for a very long time.
