Customizer Dialog load a lot of comments into comment textfield. In my opinion only comment from previous line should be loaded. See the screenshots. (Also editor invoked after opening file via popup menu item "Open" shows strange comments for edited keys.) Steps to reproduce: - create new properties file - open it in plain text mode and copypaste there : # main menu prop file a=Lancia f=Fiat fd=Iveco # menus #menu 1 comment d=Lybra #menu 2 comment e=Phedra - click popup menu item "Customize..." on key "d" or "a" in project tree - open file using popup menu item "Open" and also check "d" and "a" key NB 6: 200708010320 Java: 1.6.0_02-b05 OS: Ubuntu Linux NB 5.5.1: 200704122300 Java: 1.5.0_12-b04 OS: Ubuntu Linux

agree that to much text may be annoying in a textfiel, but on the other hand - if somebody has multiline comments in his file he's going to see only the last line and such a behavior i would see as a bigger problem because there might be some missing information. We should reconsider a more fitting UI - e.g. a textarea instead of a textfield, ... ? however - i don't think that some part of the feature wouldn't work or that we would Highly visible usability problem -> P4. Enhancement maybe. > Also editor invoked after opening file via popup menu item "Open" shows strange comments > for edited keys describe please
