Creating a new bug to avoid the swirl in bug 362420. I think we can afford to make the Quick Access text area smaller. Once you start typing, all the useful information appears in the dropdown anyway. You rarely need to type more than a couple of characters in the box to find what you want. As long as the box is wide enough to fit the hint words "Quick Access" I think we could afford to cut about a 3rd of its current width.
Daniel, could you please take a look at this? PW

Has this been tested in Linux? On Win7 the text just barely fits. Also, having it so close the text size gives it the appearance of a button with a white background rather than a text box. Since it is the only textbox in the toolbar/statusbar it doesn't look right.
Yes it would look better with a little more space than that.
Created attachment 233660 [details] Fixed search field - updated I've sent another patch to Gerrit that modifies the width of the search field according to the comments above Unfortunately I'm not able to test it on Linux Daniel
https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/14641/ On Linux the bug becomes short and the text is clipped at the ...Acc My guess is that width hint needs to be calculated some way from the current font. I've seen FontMetrics used before: http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/Java/0300__SWT-2D-Graphics/UsingFontMetricstogetcharwidth.htm PW
Moving to M2 as per bug 414630 comment 4.

Search box size look look for me on Linux with the updates patch. Any idea how to get rid of the "ugly white border" around the search box? If I remove the SWT.SEARCH style bit, it looses the white box around it but of course it also looses the search flavor.
