Description Grant Taylor CLA 2008-01-31 16:30:20 EST 
Build ID: M20060921-0945

Steps To Reproduce:
The TitleAreaDialog is used by many areas of the UI (wizards, dialogs, etc).  One common problem occurs when the message set on these dialogs is very long.  The message appears in the top section of the Shell.  If the message is long, then it will appear on many lines.  However, it is unclear that the message continues on the next line.  It is also unclear how the user is supposed to scroll this area.  It would be much better if a nice looking scroll bar (maybe even just two floating arrows to the right) would appear, giving the user a visual indication that more test is available and giving an obvious mechanism to access that text.
