Levente,
The problem is that I don't really get it when you call this a feature. It is literally at the expense of having a coherent user interface. My understanding of the feature as you describe it is for quick evaluation, which means there should be very little reason to be able to input lengthy code. The search bar could extend on its own on print it but it would be perhaps better to have some kind of tool tip with the print out. In fact, why not inspect it rather than print it? It would mean no need to resize anything.
Ian.

Hi Levente,
There was a screenshot attached to my previous message. Press and hold a key in the search bar and look at your screen. The entire menu bar will grow as the characters will exceed the search bar's width and it will take over all the screen.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. It's a feature. I guess you didn't try what I suggested. So please try one of these: 0 tinyBenchmarks Smalltalk garbageCollect [ Object compileAll ] bench
It can be improved of course (by making sure that only the search bar grows and not the whole docking bar), but the feature freeze of 4.1 was too close when we added the search bar.

Y'all,
I hereby demand that we rename the search bar to fun bar! 'Cause it's a lot of fun. :)
This is a feature. It lets us use the search bar as an expression evaluator. Just press Ctrl+0, type your expression and print it. You don't have to open (or find) a workspace for that.
