In both the problem and task view the descriptions are always wider than even the widest screen configuration and it makes it difficult to read them. These should wrap inside of their cells making them easier to read.
Note that, in R2.1 and in the latest build (it was broken for a while), selecting a task or problem shows its message in the status line, which typically has enough width. Wrapping the text in a table is not currently supported by SWT.

Thanks for reopening that ticket! So, let's explain the root problem: I'm just an eclipse user, so I don't know anything about the resolution scheme. My (user) problem, which is massivelly impacting my developper life, is that I am NOT ABLE to see the error messages the compiler is writting. This is like use case 2 for an IDE ("use case 1: be able to write code and save it"; use case 2: be able the compile and see error messages"). This is becoming a blocking problem, because compiler are getting smarters, and error message are longer, better structured, etc. I'm at the point where almost NONE of the error message reported by scalac fit in the status bar at the bottom of the eclipse windows on a full HD screen. So there is no way they will fit in the description cell. So, my message is: please, find a way to let me see the list of full error messages reported by the compiler. I don't even care if it need to be an other view than the current problem one, but I do need to see the whole messages. You know what? Even just having a mouse-over pop-up with the full text (with the actuall formatting of the compiler message) would be better than the current situation. I really do hope that that ticket won't be closed again without more consideration.

If there is no specific enhancement request about it already existing, can you please create one? I think simply improving hover/tooltp would be do-able independently of the original issue there and is more likely to be do-able sooner and more easily.
Where should I search/look for enhancement requests?
