[news.eclipse.platform] Re: column resizing in Properties view

[Ed Merks <Ed.Merks@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jason,

It's always annoyed me too, but I never thought to complain about it, 
nor did it occur to me to open a bug.  I wonder if anyone has?   I might 
be tempted to fix it myself...  You might raise the issue in a nicer way 
though.   You've heard the expression about catching more flies with 
honey than with vinegar?
