Description Sebastian Davids CLA 2005-05-31 15:43:37 EDT 
The error message at the bottom does not scale well for long error messages (see
screenshot).

There should be at least a way (tooltip? double click to open dialog) to read
the entire message.

Or it should be at the top as it was before.

Error message should use dialog font.
