Bug Description

The layout for the favourites edit dialog breaks (is unusable) depending on the size of the dialog box and default font selections of the version of Java in use.

See Fedora Bugzilla, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507719 for screen captures of the same dialog under two different versions of Java. The Redhat/Fedora person seems to have tried it under another alternate java/font combination with yet another layout difference.

FWIW, before I reported the bug I took a poke at the code (before I realized I was using their Java) and there seemed to be conflicting directives in the GridBagConstraints. I was working on expanding the grid to 7x8 instead of the 4x8 in use and using <html></html> for the "times should be ... " text as this allows it to wrap in the JLabel (which confounds me that Java would be set up that way, but thats another fish fry) all with some success, but not to the point of submitting it (I was just hacking).

Then I checked and found that RH/F's java had taken over from Sun 6u14 and I cleaned it out -- poof, things were at least usable but the Bugzilla notes about resizing seem valid.

Since resizing the dialog makes it usable this seems relatively low in importance, but I'd love to see a patch for it if someone could do it.
