Description Simon Archer CLA 2003-08-06 15:18:10 EDT
Back in the old days when complication problems and warnings were shown in the 
Tasks view, selecting an entry caused the description of the entry to be 
written to the Eclipse status bar.  This was very helpful for reading long 
descriptions that were not fully displayed by the Tasks view.  See the attached 
screen shot of how it used to be.

Sadly the Problems view does not do this when an entry is selected.

Of course I meant to say, "compilation problems", not "complication 
problems". :-)
