Description Raphael Ackermann

when running the "new bugzilla query wizard" it is possible to select a project.

To select Mylyn the user has to press the key 'M' ca. 7 times as there are 6 projects starting with M before Mylyn. 

Instead it should be possible to type 'M' 'y' and then Mylyn should be selected.

We are currently using platfrom native list widget, which only supports navigating by the first letter. That is how it work on Windows, but as far as I know it doesn't even allow to search by the first letter on OS X. Anyways, to work around that we'll have to use a custom widget.

The general Eclipse mechanism for such selections filtered tree, but that's probably overkill for the search dialog.  We could consider adding the same product selection page we have for new Bugzilla tasks to the new query wizard, but I'm not sure if that would provide more good than annoyance, especially since very large repositories like Eclipse are the exception and not the rule.

That is why we need a more lightweight searcheable list widget

This is now obsolete since the product page has been replaced by a combo box.
