Description host 2012-09-27 14:06:11 UTC 
Created attachment 125007 [details]
Column properties window

I select a column of a table and right click. In the appearing drop down menu, I select "Properties".

The properties window appears with the editable properties at the top BUT those properties appear (non-editable) again in the comment field (I hope that is the right term) - as can be seen on the attached screenshot. I think that this should better be removed.

Also on the screenshot, one can see that the properties in the comment field are cut-off at the top. (see blue box)
Comment 1 matthias42 2012-09-29 13:56:12 UTC 
This is intentional - at least partly.

The text that is visible there is the text of the ShortDescription-property of the selected node. In this case it is intentional because the property is also used to create the tooltip when hovering with the mouse over the column node.

So there is no quick way to change this.

Two years later this can be fixed (or at least now I know how):
