Truncated labels automatically show tooltips. So we are not a lot of
functionality. But I do agree it doesnt look too good. I am loathe to
changing the size of buttons. Maybe someone can make the text's font size
to scale down automatically based on content?
Bonus: This would be a very nice feature addition to the Flex SDK :-)

I am okay with waiting if we know that the timeframe is in the order of
days and not weeks/months.

Nick,
If you can take a look asap, that would be great. We are probably going to
have a couple more RCs and it would be nice to fix as many issues as
possible for Installer 2.0.
Thanks,

I can spend some time with the installer tomorrow and make some notes on
what needs to change for the Greek locale if you guys plan to spend time
and have it fixed in this release. If not I'll add it in my todo list for
next week.

Om,
Made the change to build.properties and fixed some typo's in the release
notes. I think RELEASE_NOTES typically also have lists of bugs fixed or
improvements made. Can you add that to the release notes?
Thanks,

Scaling font size would make it unreadable in many cases. I think the SDK
feature you are supposed to use is constraint columns. I think the visual
designers are probably ok having buttons grow to fit the text, but they want
two buttons on top of each other to grow to the size of the larger button.
But I just want us to get the capitalization right in this release. Let's
see if we can get someone to tell us what to change.

I guess the best plan is to make an RC2 soon with the non-final URLs and be
prepared to cancel the vote if we get our final URLs on Monday next week. I
think the issue is that the board secretaries are still out on holiday and
don't have final minutes for infra to use to build out the TLP stuff.
