#787 Build options dialog and long project names

When the build options dialog is open in a project with a long name, the half right side of the dialog gets unnecessarily large and a horizontal scrollbar is added, making annoying to change some of the options.
It looks like the panel widths are always proportional.

There seems to be a splitter control between the targets tree and the right side but it is vertical.
The same seems to be true between the "Link libraries" and "Other linker options" panes.

See the attached screenshots, the first one shows how the dialog opens, and the seconds one shows the dialog resized until the horizontal scrollbar at the bottom is gone.

It would be better if the right side of the dialog didn't scale with the left side.

    I'm running C::B svn build rev 11552, SDK version 1.37.0, scintilla 3.7.5, wx3.0.4 in Debian testing.

    It is the file: plugins\compilergcc\resources\compiler_options.xrc
    The left is a wxTreeCtrl, and it's proportion is 1, and the right is a wxBoxSizer, it's proportion is 5.
    So, you suggest the left proportion changes to 0?

      Yes, I tried that and it fixed the initial dialog size. However resizing the dialog expands the wxTreeCtrl, I think it should stay at the minimum size and the right side should expand, do you agree?

      I should have read the documentation before responding. Changing the wxTreeCtrl proportion to 0 and the wxBoxSizer to 1 makes it works as I described in my previous response.
