Display long description in task browser.
I used to update my tasks with their last status at the beginning of the description field. So a quick look on the tasks browser show me a good overview of my tasks status.
But when description are getting longer and longer, browsing becomes a nightmare even if I enable the popup descriptions.
Is it possible to set a maximum height of the description aera, let say 4 lines of text ?
Frank had proposed : "I do see one other option and that is to teach the widget that displays the task tree to put long texts in a small inline window with scrollbars."
Thanks, Pascal.

Long descriptions never take more than four lines in the viewers, starting release 1.0.3.

Pascal, please open bug reports for these. One for the resizing, one for the task colors. Thanks, Frank

Hi, I've just downloaded 1.0.3 release for MacOSX, waiting for it.
Thanks for adding long descriptions in a text control, it is really better for my usage. I hope for other users too.
Just one point, the width size of the text control doesn't want to follow when you want to resize the description column.
Minor point, the text color stays black even for past task or finished task, same for background color.
Also you can select text, copy and past, may be interesting or may be unwanted ;-)
Thanks again, Pascal.
