Description Cagatay Kavukcuoglu CLA 2002-06-10 15:05:01 EDT 
Commit Comment dialog in CVS is too small and it doesn't wrap text. As a result,
writing more than a few words of check-in comments is inconvenient.
Comment 1 Kevin McGuire CLA 2002-06-10 15:26:14 EDT 
I assume you meant to report this against 2.0, not 1.0.
Comment 2 Cagatay Kavukcuoglu CLA 2002-06-10 15:43:13 EDT 
Yes, I forgot to choose the rihgt version from the dropdown.

The dialog is at least easy to resize (in 2.1, 3.0). Just drag the lower right
corner.

But I have missed the wrap functionality a lot. I had hoped it was fixed in 3.0,
as I use CVS a lot and have this problem several times every day.
Comment 6 Michael Valenta CLA 2004-08-26 08:46:23 EDT 
If it bothers you that much, feel free to submit a patch;-) Otherwise, we may 
get to it when other higher priority items are addressed.
Comment 7 Jesper Hertel CLA 2004-08-26 09:33:56 EDT 
Sorry, I didn't mean to be demanding in any way. I just tried to express how
much I personally would appreciate if this was implemented, so you know that if
you implement it, you would make at least two people happy. Sometimes it can be
difficult to know what users find important. But maybe I should only express
that through adding me to the Cc field and voting for the bug.

I do not find it important enough, though, to try to understand the CVS code
part, learn GUI programming, make the change, learn to build Eclipse, and test
it. :o) I thought it might be a lot easier to do for someone who knows a little
more about this. Otherwise I would submit a patch. 

But sometime I guess I have to learn all this.

sets SWT.WRAP
Comment 9 Philip Borlin CLA 2005-01-31 17:12:13 EST 
This is fixed in 3.1M4 (actually in an earlier version but I don't know which).
 This can probably be closed.
Comment 10 Michael Valenta CLA 2005-01-31 17:24:23 EST 
Works in 3.1
