#232 Enhancement Request: Allow Error Dialog Window To Be Resizeable

[John L. Poole]

When an error dialog pops open, you have the ability to see the "Details" which causes the window to expand vertically including the Java trace back. Although the window has scroll bars, it is not resizeable making the ability to view the Java traceback cumbersome.

I want to be able to place my mouse on the edge of the window and expand the window so I can see the full lines of the Java traceback without having to scroll horizontally.

I think changing some attributes on the parent Window class would allow for this.

unfortunately.. the ErrorDialog was created rather stepmotherly, meaning the current layout fails to resize properly.

would you volunteer to tackle this? ..ede
