The comment field can get very long (e.g. see the Crystal project in sourceforge) and verbose. Users actually use this field often. The history view has the following problems when showing the comment: 1. The comment is truncated (high) 2. We don't honor the cariage returns so the user's formatting is lost (lower priority). We could possibly show the formated comment in a tip or add a context menu option to Browse Comment. We should also consider the other places that show comments.

I tried it, and if I expand the column, I get more of a comment. 2. Can't help -- table cells only get one line. Kevinm (5/15/01 7:27:08 PM) The multi-line is interesting since we only prompt for single line. Do people often make them multi-line? Jean-Michel (8/23/01 10:20:40 AM) Yes, this is really bad for OS projects because most of their comments are multi-line. You basically cannot see these comments from within Eclipse.
