N20070621-0010 Please remove the line 679 page.getControl().setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.BEGINNING, true, false)); in org.eclipse.search.internal.ui.SearchDialog.createPageControl(Composite, SearchPageDescriptor) Let the page decide which layout is best for it. I want to have a page where the scope selection part is always at the bottom, giving me space to use on the page center (controls are added dynamically to the page).
The search page can't know what layout the container uses. We would have to spec this. Of course we could add this as a hidden feature, that wen the control already has a grid layout set, we keep this. But I'm not sure if this wouldn't break existing implementations that happen to have added a buggy layout data.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
