Re: [platform-swt-dev] Table: prevent packing by user

[Thomas Singer <ts-swt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Leo,

Currently, in SmartGit we display the commit messages truncated after x 
characters. This is sub-optimal. We want to display as much message as 
the column width allows, but since the messages can become very long, we 
don't want the column to become excessively wide.

Best regards,
Thomas Singer
