Description

Steps to reproduce

1. Get data into the row stream, with metadata on strings fields bigger than the actual content
2. Use Text file output and press "Get Fields"
3. Run Transformation (It will generate space padded strings in the output)
4. Correct the issue by pressing "Minimal Fields" and confirm dialog (Note: issue is here, the change in configuration does not register with Spoon)
5. Run Transformation (it does not save the transformation and reruns the old one)
6. Output file is unchanged, but should be trimmed
7. Save the transformation manually
8. Run Transformation

Simple fix in TextFileOutputDialog - I added the selection listener to update the changed state. Checked into 4.4.1 and trunk.
