(04:53:20 PM) ips: we actually had the tooltip functionality in the old jsf config editor, but i think i forgot to port it over
(04:54:39 PM) hdouglas: well then that part is an easy fix :)

(04:51:55 PM) ips: making the input field wider on focus is a cool idea. that would take some experimentation to see if smartgwt provides an easy way to do that
(04:52:44 PM) ips: it might be tricky, since you'd be making the width of one table cell wider than the rest of the cells in the same column
(04:52:48 PM) hdouglas: Yeah, that would be sweet if that could pull that off. 
(04:53:39 PM) hdouglas: I think all would have to shift at that point.
(04:54:03 PM) hdouglas: I'd have to see it in action.
(04:54:41 PM) ips: yeah, unless you got really crafty and popped up a modal that still had the illusion of the existing form field getting wider
(04:55:17 PM) hdouglas: Hummm… that could work
(04:55:25 PM) ips: and then once the modal is closed (by user changing focus or hitting enter/esc, we could programmatically transfer the value to the actual form field
(04:55:50 PM) hdouglas: sounds good! That would be sweet!

The (easier) tooltip portion of this is done in master:
