Description Christoph Meier CLA 2004-01-03 10:49:47 EST 
With a (high) resolution of 1600x1200, dialog buttons and windows are 
displayed very wide. Some windows are too large to fit on the screen. 
 
I changed org.eclipse.jface.IDialogConstants (IDialogConstants.java) to work 
around this problem: 
 
232c232 
< 	public int BUTTON_HEIGHT = 16; 
--- 
> 	public int BUTTON_HEIGHT = 14; 
237c237 
< 	public int BUTTON_WIDTH = 31; 
--- 
> 	public int BUTTON_WIDTH = 61; 
257c257 
< 	public int MINIMUM_MESSAGE_AREA_WIDTH = 100; 
--- 
> 	public int MINIMUM_MESSAGE_AREA_WIDTH = 300;

Dialog size is based on the font size, and the average character size according
to pango (varies per language).  It should not change based on display
resolution.  Can you please show me a screenshot of how big dialogs are on your
machine?

Please re-open if you have a screenshot that shows the problem.
