Created attachment 240679 [details] Screenshot illustrating the issue The quick access text entry field is too small and cuts the hint text short.
What build is this on? PW
Sorry, forgot to specify that. I got: Eclipse SDK Version: Luna (4.4) Build id: I20140306-1200
Was this working before correctly? I did remove the search icon from the box but did not change the size of the box. Can you try with a fresh workspace?
Created attachment 240760 [details] Screenshot from Eclipse 4.3 Yes, it works correctly in Eclipse 4.3.
Switching to a fresh workspace did not help.
Created attachment 240767 [details] If all toolbars are moved to the right, this is the result I, I just don't get this. At all. I wish I could brush this away as just another bug, but I've read too many Quick Access bug reports to know nothing related to Quick Access is just another normal bug. Yet I can still be surprised, it seems. This is ridiculous. And I don't get how this situation can continue to be. I just don't.

I appreciate all the work being done in this bug, I really do. Thank you for it. I hoped to show that the this bug can be fixed with plenty of room left still, not as a knock on anyone. I just don't get how this bug should be a bug in the first place, that's all. See, there I go again.

See, there I go again. I still don't see how you comment is related to this bug. In general a bug has one purpose and your comment seems related to a different issue. As a general rule, please don't use bug reports to add unrelated information.

As a general > rule, please don't use bug reports to add unrelated information. I am pointing out one location where there is a motherload of untapped screen space, just going completely unused. If some or all of that were given for Quick Access to use then Quick Access would almost never end up too small like in this bug, and in the rare case it still did this would be easy to correct by dragging some toolbars around a little. Or some people might even prefer for Quick Access to stay so small it can't even show its own hint text. In addition, I'm pointing out that if this unused space had been given to Quick Access in the first place by making it -- rather than that #PerspectiveSpacer -- stretch to fill all remaining space then it's likely this bug would have never came to be. This is relevant towards preventing future regressions of this bug.
(In reply to Timo Kinnunen from comment #10) > (In reply to comment #9) Timo, please open a new bug, instead of posting unrelated infos to existing bug reports. This bug is about the incorrect default size of the QuickAccess box. If you post unrelated infos, we ignore them and your improvement suggestion will be lost.
Brian, you have a Mac, right? Could you look at that? Size on Windows and Linux is big enough.
Created attachment 241077 [details] OS X with fix I see the issue described. The problem is that computeSize() doesn't handle the curved appearance from the SWT.SEARCH. Changing the code to use computeTrim() solves the issue, and we can get rid of the +15 pixel hack too (tested on Linux + OS X). https://git.eclipse.org/r/23678 Paul: can you give this a try on Windows?
(In reply to Brian de Alwis from comment #13) Thanks a lot. I can confirm looks still great on Linux. > Paul: can you give this a try on Windows? I think Paul is also on Linux.

Looks fine on Win7 too. Committed as: http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/commit/?id=c6737d9fea116e259a64d24ad439a61ab2820154
Verfied on Linux with Build id: I20140402-0100, if it is still to small on Mac / Windows please reopen this bug
I am having a similar issue with Eclipse 4.5 but it seems a little different. In my main Eclipse instance, the quick access menu is too small (this is on mac, by the way). However, when I launch another instance of test the plugin I am developing, the menu size is fine. Is there some setting that I have tucked away somewhere that is causing the menu to be small?
