Build Identifier: I20100608-0911 I'm working on many platforms, and on several ones semi-fixed size dialog windows provide lots of problems for. I say semi-fixed size, because for some reason the dialog windows tend to take up different sizes on each platform, but are not resizeable by me the user. For example I just installed a new version of a plugin on a solaris machine (on eclipse 3.3 but happens with older versions too), and the dialog window requesting the restart of the machine was a bit thin: There was exactly one word per line, and even that was cut by the side of the window ... so I was only able about the first 3-4 letter of every word. And the button row was already outside of the screen space with such a "tall" window. But just to give an example that is needed in daily work is clearing the Error Log. If I press on the large red cross on the Error Log View I get a dialog window that is about as tall as my screen, but only as wide as the "OK|Cancel" text minimally allows. If this window could be resized (and maybe could remember its previous size), that would fix all these problems. Also as far as I know making a window resizeable only means to add one style flag to its style, or it's shells style. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try to clear the Error Log View, or try to install a new version of something.
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.
