View create usage

From

Date:
Using 1.15 Dev on OpenSUSE 12.1

The process of creating a view is a bit puzzling.

1. open pgadmin, connect to server, drill down to schema public.
2. right click on Views, new view, dialog opens
3. OK is greyed, Cancel is active, status bar shows "enter name"
4. enter name and tab off
5. status bar is unchanged, OK is still grey.
From experimentation the dialog is waiting for further info, but user 
is not sure what is needed and status bar does not guide. Indeed the 
info provided is confusing since name has already been supplied. You 
think maybe the name is invalid but this is not the case.

6. leave name blank
7. enter a definition or security label
8. go back and enter name, status bar updates and OK is active.

Suggestion:
After name field is updated, status bar indicates new field that is 
required to activate OK button.

Thanks, it's now fixed (1.14, and master).
