yast2: bad window layout while maximizing sw_single module

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 Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
