Increase the Eclipse content assist size

Hello everyone,

I've seen someone à the Paris JUG whose eclipse's content assist was pretty large. Since I also use a wide screen, I started searching where this configuration was in Eclipse. Whitout success.

Does someone know how to increase the size (precisely, the width) of the popup window that appears for content assist (CTRL + SPACE), and also how to increase the size of the javadoc popup window that appears normally on the right of the first one.

Bonus question : the guy i saw with this configuration also managed to place the javadoc popup window under the content assist popup window (normally it's on the right). Does anyone know how to do this too ?

PS: some previous research on google pointed out some folks saying that rezising these window popups causes eclipse to remember the new size forever, but as many others, it doesn't work at all for me.

regards,

Ok, I asked on Eclipse newsgroup and it seems that the resize handle that allows to change the content assist popup is only available on Windows or Mac OS. Too bad for my Ubuntu :-(

A bug has been submitted, FYI :
