Cannot resize action progress window

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]

Using phatch 0.1.5

I'm unable to resize the action progress window, which makes impossible to see
the name of the files being processed, or even the window title.

I'm attaching a screenshot.

Hi Emilio,
Good to see you using Phatch. Unfortunately the progress dialog is a predefined wx dialog and I don't find a way to make it resizable. I'll ask on the wxpython mailing list to know for sure.

It seems to be a bug in wxpython:

I 'fixed' it in Phatch by forcing Phatch progress dialog box not to start with an empty string. It is available from bazaar.

I filed a bug report about it:

However my patch solves the usability issue.
