Dialog via pydev

This same dialog box can be reached through multiple ways : 

Reproducible Approach 1 : 
Launch eclipse. Go to Windows > Preferences > C/C++ Build > Build > Environment. Click 'New'. A small dialog box shows up that has a field to enter value. 

Reproducible Approach 2 : 
This is the one we most frequently face and observed users make mistake with. 
Install the pydev plugin available here : https://www.pydev.org/manual_101_install.html

This will add a preference under Windows > Preferences > Pydev > Interpreters. Under the list of interpreters, choose any interpreter. Click on New to add environment variables. Same small dialog box shows up that has a field to enter value. 

Problems with that dialog box : 

1. The path field is very small by default and many users do not try to resize. 
2. It does not wrap. This causes surprisingly serious errors.

The following recommendations should be considered: Have a bigger text box that wraps (in a bigger dialog box) to show a full path.
