Description Konstantin Komissarchik CLA 2008-07-30 11:21:50 EDT 
The text control that displays the aboutText from feature branding plugins about.ini file is not configured to wrap text. This cuts off long text (as in feature description) and forces people to insert line break manually. Making the control wrap text will allow manual text breaks to be removed and let the text flow more naturally to fill the available area.

Will attach a patch.

Patch

The patch adds SWT.WRAP style flag during creation of the text control.
Comment 2 Kim Horne CLA 2008-07-30 11:51:02 EDT 
I will apply this, but the effect is minimal - there are enough button widths on the dialog that if you shrink it past a certain point the text control (and above table) remain at a given size regardless of wrapping...
