Resizing labels and textareas

Hi guys.

Been using pgadmin II for the past two days, and man is it a nice tool.
Good work!

One question...some labels appear with truncated text.  In other words, it
appears a dialog box or window isn't sized large enough to accomodate for
all the elements contained within, so instead of resizing the window to
allow for the elements, it appears to shrink the elements to fit the
window, which renders some of the labels unreadable.

Is there a way to change this behavior?  It seems the windows don't allow
themselves to be resized, so I can't make out a few labels.  I've also
noticed that the top text area on the main screen doesn't allow resize as
well.

Anyone else see this, or is it just me?

Thanks!

John

At a guess you have non-standard size fonts configured. There's nothing
wrong with that of course, but some of the labels probably are too small
for larger fonts. I'm working on pgAdmin III now, so I'll bear that in
mind when designing forms (which will be user modifiable anyway though).

All of the main form is sizable in pgAdmin II v.1.3.0 and above. The
grab rail is at the top of the SQL pane, just below the tabset above.
