dialog should remember its size

[RobertPatzke]

Let's make sure issue is not already fixed in latest builds first.

• I verified I can reproduce this issue against latest Integration Build of Eclipse SDK, Eclipse CDT, Version 2024-09 (4.33.0)

Steps to reproduce

From a fresh installation and clean workspace:

• create new c/c++ managed project
• open properties dialog (Alt+Enter)
• click on [C/C++ Build]
• then click on [Settings]
• and GCC C++ Compiler [Includes]
• enter a new include path ...
• Apply and Close

I tried

• open properties dialog again (Alt+Enter)
• enter another include path in the now open Settings-Window

I expected: The same size of the Window/Dialog as before

But got: A smaller Window/Dialog, not all tabs seen, no space for longer path entries

Tested under this environment:

• OS & version: Linux Mint 21.3
• Eclipse IDE/Platform version (as shown in Help > About): Eclipse CDT, Version 2024-09 (4.33.0)
  The Window/Dialog is large enough, when you dive to your input from the upper menu (C/C++ Build)
  This issue is relevant for all inputs when opened in lower hierarchical menus,
  which are opened when repeating an input via Alt+Enter

Pictures

In response to the comment Ed Merks I added 2 pictures, one for the first opening of the dialog and another one for the repeated opening.

• I understand reporting an issue to this OSS project does not mandate anyone to fix it. Other contributors may consider the issue, or not, at their own convenience. The most efficient way to get it fixed is that I fix it myself and contribute it back as a good quality patch to the project.

Can you please use Shift-Alt-F1 (plug-in spy) to determine which dialog is showing and which plugin contributes that dialog? It's really each to simple paste an image into the browser control for the issue...

Hello Ed,
thank you for your comment. There is no reaction on Shift-Alt-F1. So I added two pictures to show the issue.

I see. The pictures help. Indeed this is a general dialog with all kinds of pages contributed by various plugins, so remembering the size is something that could be done in the Platform...

Maybe your key binding is different:
