At the moment I have only (found) the possibility to create a new stored query. It would be really helpful to have a "quick-query" option. E.g. for finding bugs before entering a new one to prevent duplicates
To be a bit more precise. I have found the "Search Repository Action", but I cannot set the different bug-attributes there (e.g. component or status)
Created attachment 75118 [details] picture illustrating the problem I just noticed that it is just an UI-Problem. Adding a scrolled composite solves the problem
Changed the bug description
-1 for scrolling composites. This dialog been just redesigned and you should see improvement in the UI. Though we may still need to tweak some minimal sizes, so all widgets would be actually visible.
OK, that's fine with me. I only want to see all the widgets :-)
(In reply to comment #5) > OK, that's fine with me. I only want to see all the widgets :-) Me too ;) I'm +1 to have a scrolling composite anyway (if you resize, for example), but I think the main issue here is that by default the search dialog does not expand to its contents (try to open search on a clean workspace; strange that if after that you navigate to java search and back to task search it is resized correctly).
With scrolled composites you won't be able to make all these list widgets fit the screen, and in result will always have scroll bars on the dialog, which is really insane. Like I said, we need to specify some reasonable minimal height for these lists, so they will be always visible and dialog will take required space to begin with.
The scrollbars will appear only if the composite is larger than its parent, right? It gives feedback that there is more content available, avoiding mistakes like Bernd had and me too. Of course, this could be implemented together with the fix for minimal size.
Yes, but then composite won't be able to grab expand to the dialog if it is smaller, unless you'll use some kind of back magic with resizing events. My point is that with minimal component sizes set, dialog won't allow to resize it smaller then certain size, so there won't be this issue...
Fixd by packing dialog shell upon adding search pages. UI should no longer be hidden upon initial viewing.
Fixed.

Packing is causing loss of user adjusted dialog dimensions. Reopening to investigate alternate solution.
Rob, can you please verify with JIRA page and maybe also with 3rd party connectors like Collabnet IssueZilla?
Now checking if user has at some point set the search dialog dimensions, if not it is packed. If somebody has time to investigate a more elegant solution we can reopen.
