Oh ok.  Yeah maybe.  The one i saw was much bigger than that.

Some changes can't be avoided without changing the size of the bar, or
limiting the size of the label - can that be done?  Because the bar
assumes a certain sized font.  I use a smaller one so only very long
strings make a difference, but if i had a longer server name, the same
problem would occur, regardless.  Its a design problem with the
dialogue.

Well you have the source-code too, if you really want the detail.  I was
trying not to explain them to that level - since the details are
essentially meaningless to you.
