Create Class Quickfix/Choose Destination Directory dialog: should preselect same module and/or directory as source file

 Description  « Hide
Source code in module B references a non-existing class.
1) I accept the "Create Class" quickfix
2) Destination package is suggested as package of current file (good)
3) After accepting destination package, IDEA asks for destination directory.
In this case I can shoose from 3 directories (current package exists in 3 places):
-in module A (sources)
-in module B (sources) (current module)
-in module B (test sources)

Problem 1:
IDEA selects a directory inside another module by default. Perhaps this is because module B comes after module A in current project order, and IDEA justs selects the first in list?

The most common destination of the new class would be same directory in same module. Please make this the default selection.

Problem 2:
The content of the "choose destination directory" dialog is always scrolled a bit to the left: the roots of the tree are not visible for me by default.
I have to scroll (using mouse!) to make sure I'm selecting the right destination.

You might want to:
-Give the "Choose destination directory" dialog a bit larger default size
-Make the default scrolling position show the roots of the tree
