From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.6+) Gecko/20011129 BuildID: 2001112903 While browsing a couple pages, I noticed that when the tree gets large, items in the tree scroll off to the right and you cannot get to them. A scroll bar to allow the user to see the nodes would be very helpful. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a large HTML document. 2. Expand the node tree until elements are hidden by other columns. Actual Results: Node elements that are hidden are unreachable. Expected Results: A method for scrolling to the right is needed. This occurs in the sidebar panel as well.

outliner doesn't even support horizontal scrolling, so this will require some toolkit work to fix

I agree that such a scroll bar is really missing!

Now that #212789 is fixed, it should be possible to fix this too.

I have filed bug 363403 and added screenshots for an alternate solution to simply adding a scrollbar to the current view.

I've filed a similar bug (bug 372206) on this and I've implemented a workaround if anybody's interested. See bug 372206 comment 7 Basically, on every toggleOpenState call I go through the rows and find the row that "sticks" out the most and manually resize the column width to fit (with a certain fudge factor). I think this could really help the DOM inspector - but you might have to reorder the columns for easier use.
Attached patch Initial patch (deleted) — Splinter Review
This patch works pretty well. I only wish that I could observe the onToggleOpenState event (which would be much better). Right now it's just doing it onItemSelected which is ok, I guess.
By the way, one caveat - if you do scroll over you'll have trouble clicking on the +/- signs to expand/collapse the tree. This is bug 399961 (man I was close to being 400000) but Jan (who is assigned to bugs about the tree widget) doesn't seem to be responding to any of those bugs...
