In usability tests, users were thought that the log events displayed on one page (by default 100) were all of the log entries. There are several problems with the approach: 1. 100 is way to small of a default. Logs are typically at least 1000s of lines long so this is requiring the user to do an enormous amount of paging. Default should be about 10,000. 2. Making it configurable is fine, but the default should be one that is acceptable to most users, which should be a number much larger than 100. 3. The controls to page need to be more intuitive and at the BOTTOM of the list, not the TOP (the user is not looking at the top when they are at the bottom of the list).

Created attachment 53793 [details] PageNavigation I would suggest to use this format for page navigation. The combobox shows the page number only and a Go button activates the combo selection. Also, optionally, the filter information can be shown at the bottom of the page rather then title
I agree with making a more Eclipsish version of what is in the last bitmap, but I think we want to make the page text box a popup. The goal for the next version should be something like what is shown in Bug 165201. For now just the page number part could be implemented. I am also not sure what Filtered means. It is useful to have something showing that the events are filtered, but I think what is in the screenshot is ambiguous.
Created attachment 61686 [details] Updated bitmap Updated bitmap based on usability feedback. Also, not Jump to Time button referring to Bugzilla 165201
Created attachment 65935 [details] Updated mockup Slightly updated from previous mockup: 1. Added elipsis to Jump to Time button 2. Add Jump to Time button to top
I had opened a request against Alex to make use of the virtual table control available in Eclipse 3.2 Using this control, the view can be scrolled on demand and the UI doesn't have to provide new controls for paging the data https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=179564
Resolving this as WONTFIX because it is no longer required by the consumer that requested it.
Closing.
