Screenshot of wizard without ftp parser control

Build ID: RSE master (14-May-2013) on Eclipse SDK Kepler M7

In the New Connection Wizard for FTP connections, the settings page should allow changing the FTP Parser and "passive" mode. But on Windows 7, the dropdown control of the "parser" box is hidden by default so the control is unusable (see attached screenshot).

Workaround: Make the dialog wider, by dragging the right edge to the right. Now the combo control becomes visible and the parser can be specified.

Suggested fix: Not sure - seems to be an SWT alignment problem, might be related to font sizes. As a workaround, it may be possible to either
(a) set the longest parser string in the combo by default before performing
the SWT layout and pack; then switch back to "AUTO". Or,
(b) try setting a fixed width of the table column.
