Description Silvio Böhler CLA 2005-01-13 14:47:31 EST 
Version: 3.1.0
Build id: I20050112-1200

I have a wizard (subclassing Wizard and using WizardDialog) and would like to
have a multiline description ('setDescription(..)') for one of the pages.
Unfortunately the description is not wrapped but the window is enlarged.

From the description, am I correct in assuming this is a wizard where you are 
using your own action to make the wizard appear?  
If so, you can set the size of the wizard in your action's run() method:
        WizardDialog dialog = new WizardDialog(null, wizard);
        dialog.create();
        dialog.getShell().setSize(width, height);
        dialog.open();

Where the width and height are perhaps a minimum of some set number and the 
actual size of the dialog.  
e.g. width = Math.min(500, dialog.getShell().getSize().x);
This will prevent the wacky sizing.  It may just be a workaround for now - I am 
not sure yet if/what we can do about dialog sizing in the case where the 
description is long.

works for me in Eclispe 3.3 I20060922-0010 using the strategy in #c1.
