Description François Rey

2011-04-24 15:41:35 EDT

Build Identifier: EGit 0.12.0.201104221513 JGit 0.12.0.201104212018

When working with a large changeset whereby many have files changed, the commit dialog does not allow to augment the file list area. This is particularly obvious and annoying when maximizing the window: message section is too large.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Modify many files, egit commit, maximize the commit dialog

This could be achieved by using a sash between the message and files sections. Could you prepare a patch, François? :)

Nice, verified. I'm glad going through old bugs yielded something positive, we need to get this line down even more:
