I don't know how that's supposed to work.
e.g. designing views doesn't only mean to design them until all columns
are included, and the syntax is correct. Additionally, the query plan
needs investigation. To do that, you'd execute the select with some
restriction, check the plan, optimize etc. At the end, you add "CREATE
VIEW xxx AS" and hit F5. This is clearly more than property dialogs can
deliver. Extending them would mean duplicating query tool facilities.
For large views/functions, the property dialog advantages seem
neglectable compared to the query tool.

I won't accept resizing of non-resizable contents, which includes most
property dialogs.
