I was looking forward to using ErrorSupportProvider to place extra stuff
in our product's error dialogs, but to my dismay the ErrorDialog
implementation when using ErrorSupportProviders is to display a third
/column/ ?
I am almost thinking there's a bug -- it should have been giving the
error support provider a /row/ not an extra column, or the dialog stops
looking standard.
Was there an intended "best practice" for the use of the error support
provider?
Consider a simple example: wanting to provide a hyperlink to "contact
support". There's no good way to have it show in a third column unless
some funky trick is done to extend the dialog beyond its simple nature.
Thank you,
Eddie

I agree that the current layout is ugly and not what I'd consider well
designed. Please enter a bug about it in Bugzilla, against the Platform
UI component; attaching a runnable snippet that demonstrates the problem
is very helpful.
