Re: pgAdmin 1.4.3 bug with delete button in win32 & OTHER - Mailing list pgadmin-support

ERRATA: substitute ROW for COLUMN in (e):

e. double clicking a ROW separator sizes the ROW back
to the single row height -- sizing to the height of the
tallest entry (if you have multi-line data in any of that
row's cells) would probably be a more standard behavior.
