Description Nathan Fiedler 2006-09-07 20:04:03 UTC

If the schema editor window is narrow enough, the error messages that appear in
the search control panel (below the column/tree view) may be hidden. It was
suggested that the errors appear in a dialog, but I find popup dialogs annoying,
so perhaps a tooltip with a light red background would be better. The tooltip
should stay visible for a few seconds, or close on the next AWT event (key press
or mouse event).

Instead of a tooltip, a better graphic effect would be to have a sliding panel
with a yellowish background that appears above the search control panel. It
would contain the error message, and automatically hide itself after several
seconds. In this way it would not interfere with the user modifying their search
and trying it again.

Worth fixing it only if there are enough users and they find it difficult. So far it has worked out nicely.
