BTW, I should have mentioned earlier that our oldest open bug (BR#479) is about resizability, and there is some relevant discussion there.

In whatever discussion follows, please understand this: the ColonyPanel is a *very* special case. Its code is bigger and more complex than any other panel, it has many points where it makes calls to the controller, and it is the most commonly used... and I doubt this is going to change. Therefore in trying to work out principles for panel resizing, it is probably a bad idea to use the ColonyPanel as an example. It is highly atypical. > You are even lucky you get a vertical scroll bar for the buildings, > for me its mostly a horizontal scroll bar, which is twice as ugly.

I agree that scroll bars are not ideal, but growing the panel is just dodging the issue. We should *always* be able to handle overflow in the building area, because FreeCol allows more buildings to be added to the spec. Indeed, all areas probably need to handle overflow. What concerns me more here is why you are not getting the vertical bar. > I also remember having problems with advisor panels (many months ago) and it > was a godsend to be able to resize those. > Thats why I would like to keep resizability everywhere.
