GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 98940
minor glade UI request
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Regards, I was wondering if you'd consider letting the text-area associated with the "Label:" label on the first tab of the glade2 "Properties" window grow vertically as its parent window is enlarged. (Yes, it already grows horizontally). The problem right now is that when trying to enter a long label into that text-area, I very quickly lose sight of the whole label because only a tiny bit of it is visible. This makes it hard to find and edit specific phrases. Further, since my laptop has a rather small screen, it can be difficult to stretch the window wide enough to read the whole label without the window getting so wide that it interferes with the rest of my work. Indeed, if that text box could also grow vertically, my problems editting long labels would be ameliorated. Thanks for your consideration.
I don't think it is easy to let it grow vertically, but I'll check. The other option is to add a '...' button on the right of the field which pops up a dialog with a bigger text widget in it.
