If > "Part Number" is in view, the second line of the "NATID" would not be. The vertical scroll bar indicates there is something below. A first-time user will probably scroll through all of that and get a rough understanding of all the information there. An intermediate user will know that NATID is two lines. More importantly, there exists a state where the whole value is visible on the screen, without having to press buttons to read the whole thing. And that is important if you are reading it to somebody over the phone, or writing it out to a sheet of paper, or comparing it with a number on a part. >> Sorry for turning it into a “what you want is wrong” discussion :) > > No, I appreciate it!

Avoid horizontal scrolling if at all possible. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
