Kevin Menard commented on CAY-888:
----------------------------------
This patch breaks the Query Root selector as well. Arrow keys do not scroll
through the list properly and it appears that even after a choice is made, it's
not persisted. I.e., I can switch to the "Orderings" tab and it will tell me
that no query root has been selected yet.

> Object Select Query UI should be smarter and more usable:
> #1 Qualifier field shouldn't be just a dummy text filed. It should be
> smarter, with validations, or even some sort of completion
> or live checking so that the user quickly can do what he wants and be sure
> that it's OK. Because this dummy field is very error prone, many CM users
> avoid "Named Queries". I must admint - even myself - I always type something
> wrong there.
> #2 When selecting a QueryRoot -> e.g to Person, than the Query Name should be
> changed too to "PersonQuery", but only in the case the user hasn't manually
> changed that field to something else than the default generated by CM at
> dialog open. This is very user friendly (many IDEs offer such "variable
> suggestion").
> #3 Orderings and Prefetches tab panes should use a JSplitPane to separte the
> upper and the lower zones. For entities with many fields, the users always
> have to scroll because one can't simply drag a split pane to adapt the size.
