Description Werner Lemberg 2009-01-28 07:37:23 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-2.5 Firefox/3.0.5

I'm using a 1680x1050 screen.

After maximizing the sw_single module, the upper right subwindow shows the
same layout, this is, all columns have the same width as before, and there is
a lot of unused space on the right.  Well, I manually adjusted it, but yast2
doesn't remember this the next time I start the module and maximize again.
This can be quite annoying due to the long columns.

I suggest (a) that sw_single automatically expands the columns proportionally
after a maximizing operation and (b) that it remembers the layout as modified
by the user.

BTW, Windows has quite a nice solution for table elements which exceed the
visible horizontal width: If you position the mouse over the field it pops up
a small yellow window, showing the whole text of the field.  Since `summary'
fields can be exceedingly long, this might be a helpful addition.

Reproducible: Always

This is a duplicate of bug 441828 which is about improving column widths in the
