Description _ tboudreau 2005-10-14 13:19:36 UTC 
It's completely non-obvious that, in a field just labelled "Filter", what you're
supposed to enter is a class name.  I'd expect people to try filling in the
localized name of an API, or the code name of a module, but the least likely
guess is that a class name will work, much less an unqualified one.

Please either add instructions to the dialog explaining what to do, or change
the label for the filter field to "Class Name" or something such, or preferably,
both.

It's in the UI spec, but I guess that was ignored...?
Comment 2 Martin Krauskopf 2005-10-25 17:54:32 UTC 
Ignored is too strong. Rather forgotten ;) Thanks for the catch Tim.
Comment 3 Martin Krauskopf 2005-10-27 00:50:07 UTC 
Fixed.

Checking in ui/customizer/AddModulePanel.java; 1.23 --> 1.24
Checking in ui/customizer/Bundle.properties; 1.57 --> 1.58
