The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

-[TC8.50b2a] Pack Dialog to small for traslations

When you press ALT+F5 the pack dialog appears:

as you can see its too small for translations
Please consider allowing more space for text
by making the dialog bigger.
TIA

Confirmed even without translations.

And what will happen if I increase the font size by 1 or 2 pt? My font is Nokia Sans S60, 10 pt bold.
We are not so S.M.A.R.T. as we imagine...

The string "Encrypt" was shortened to fit there. Currently there are no plans to make the dialog any larger, sorry.

It would take him about the same amount of time to actually change it, as it took him to write that he has no plans to do it. ;) But he's the boss here.

There is 2 times the space for the word "Encrypt", so where is the problem?

Problem is probably too strong word. It might limit someone with custom translations, but it won't be too many people. For me it's just that it looks unnecessarily crowded, i.e. ugly and it's not worth few saved pixels. And if you moved Packer frame and widened target edit at the same time, it would all fit together nicely.
