Bug 7477 Status bar isn't protected against multiline messages
Reported: 2002-01-11 07:05:50 | Status: resolved fixed

Build 20011219 (win2000) If you select any task with a multiline message, then minimize the Java perspective and maximize it again, then you end up with a status bar taking half the screen to show correctly the message. Steps: - Java perspective - define the following compilation unit, this will cause the Java compiler to crash and produce a marker which messages is composed of multiple lines. - select compilation error - minimize/maximize perspective package p1; public final class TableData { public final String name; public TableData(String name) { try {} finally { this.name = name; } } }
