Description John Arthorne CLA 2001-10-24 09:47:02 EDT
From Michael Latta on EC:

Basically he needs some way of seeing really long task messages.  One option 
would be to make the tooltip window taller and multi-lined.  Here is what he 
says, 

"Can we get a feature request to allow double click on task entries to get a
dialog that has a large text area for description and the remaining fields
layed out as a screen.  This would help both in using the task area for
tasks, and in reading those LONG messages that have so many fully qualified
class names.  Alternatively a button to compress the descriptions by
removing package names would help a lot as well."

Defer. F1 help for tasks will partially address this. 
Comment 2 Randy Giffen CLA 2002-08-08 16:45:45 EDT
Reopen for investigation
Comment 3 Sebastian Davids CLA 2004-10-30 17:38:14 EDT
This is probably covered by the properties dialog.
Comment 4 John Arthorne CLA 2004-11-01 09:36:23 EST
Agreed. You can see the complete task message from the property dialog.
