Illegible error message when JVM is not installed #15

Open AngusMcIntyre opened 7 years ago

AngusMcIntyre commented 7 years ago

Not sure if this is the best place for bug reports but here goes....

Attempted to perform a semantic diff in the branch explorer upon a cpp file. JVM is not installed. An error message is shown to communicate the missing JVM version. The error message appears in a small yellow bar at the top of the diff panel. The error bar is multi-line but is not expandable. Only one line is visible. A scroll bar appears but does not function correctly.

In order to view the full message I had ctrl+a to highlight the text and copy it to a text editor.

I expected the error message to be more accessible as the full content led me directly to the solution.

Got it. We made everything selectable to at least let you copy paste, but probably no reason not to improve this :)

@mig42 and @miryamGSM is there anything we can do to improve this? @Gusdor could you share a screenshot?

I have attached a screen shot to the issue.
