Gradle Tasks View actions are not visible, was: [feature request] for Gradle Tasks View

[paulvi]

Please consider to implements

• hide/show enherited tasks, (there can be quite a lot of inherited from plugins tasks, for some periods build.gradle defined is all what needed). Having defined tasks to start with the same latter like "u" is work-around

• show description of tasks

• (the least needed) group by category and/or plugin, as gradle tasks output is

  Help tasks

  dependencies - Displays all dependencies declared in root project 'NashornSandbox'.
  dependencyInsight - Displays the insight into a specific dependency in root project 'NashornSandbox'.

Gradle Tasks View actually has some actions but they are visible only in narrow View

Wonder how you manage to get the "Gradle Tasks" view actions to disappear... I have tried this on Mac OSX and it work fine all the time regardless the real estate available for the view. If the view has room to fit the buttons they'll be displayed in the same row as the view tab, otherwise the actions would go into a separate row as shown in your first screenshot.
What's your Eclipse version?
What's your platform title and version?

Looks like maybe a Windows specific problem. I have not seen it on Linux either.

I ran into this issues in ADT-Bundle (Eclipse Juno) on Windows 7. Checking in latest Eclipse Luna, GGTS updated to 3.5 is OK.

The same again on Windows 7 64 with Java 8 _10 and STS 3.6 (on top of 4.4 Eclipse)

When I first launched STS 2 icons were shown, but after a while they dissapeared
(I notice them blinking when resizing View)
