Created attachment 90892 [details] Screenshot I20080226-1155 I guess this is the status dialog that was mentioned on the mailing list. Could the Platform/UI team please ensure that their stuff is at least sanity checked before it goes into a build?
New status dialog is being improved (see bug 220523). I would like to have here reproduction scenario (dialog does not usually look like on Markus' screenshot). And 'sanity' is a little bit offending... Please assign this bug to me
> I would like to have here reproduction scenario (dialog does not usually look > like on Markus' screenshot). I got the dialog when I tried to do 'Replace With > Latest from HEAD' on a file that was locked by another application (in my case, it was a buggy Firefox, but MS Word also a known locker). Then I resized it a bit. > And 'sanity' is a little bit offending... I didn't say anyone is insane. "Sanity check" is a well-known English term that means "a quick check to see that the stuff works fine". I would expect that an Eclipse contributor/committer quickly checks the basic functionality before he releases something that will jump into many users' eyes.
Created attachment 90978 [details] Reproduction Markus, Here is the the error dialog that appeared to me when I tried to reproduce reported one. I think you have resized that dialog before capturing it - so basically I see here two issues * do not allow user to resize the dialog (at least until bug 210748 will be fixed) * work on maximal width of the error dialog (wrapping message). Does this address your concerns?
> * do not allow user to resize the dialog (at least until bug 210748 will be > fixed) No, all dialogs with variable contents must be resizable. Better leave it as is until bug 210748 is fixed. > * work on maximal width of the error dialog (wrapping message). Yes, the upper message should have a widthHint. I have not looked at the implementation, but if you have a GridLayout, then the upper message would need a new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, false), and the details pane would be new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true),
Thanks for the valuable feedback Markus. Some issues can occur due to the release of the dialog. Showing the dialog to people and getting such comments will help us to make the dialog (and all related stuff) better. I didn't notice that issue and I wouldn't have noticed that, if the dialog had not been released.
Patch for bug 133495 solves this issue, too. Marking as fixed.

(In reply to comment #6) > Patch for bug 133495 solves this issue, too. Not really, that bug only added wrapping. But you can use bug 223056 for the rest.
