Beta 10: hint text in sql window is truncated in message box

I select from example table employees in user HR. The column manager_id will result in a long hint text (so long it can not be displayed fully on my screen resolution). The full text is: "manager_id, number(6), optional, Manager id of the employee; has same domain as manager_id in departments table. Foreign key to employee_id column of employees table. (useful for reflexive joins and CONNECT BY query)".

I double-click on the hint text to have it shown in its entirety in a text box, but the text is truncated in the text box so I can only see the first approx. 180 characters. The text box can be manually made wider, so I have no possibility to see the text.

In PLD version 12, the text was wrapped in the dialog box, so all text could be displayed, but is is not wrapped in beta 10 (just truncated). Now I have to right-click in the dialog box and select Copy and the paste the text in an editor somewhere to see the full text.

It is the same problem showing the hint text for e.g. column department_name from table departments, because it also have a long comment.

The examples here are from sql window, but it should of course work with status line in all window types: command window, program window, test window, explain plan (where the text box can not be displayed at all today, not even in version 12), etc.

Please make this work again like in version 12, where the text is always wrapped.
