238040 - Dom Inspector, Missing Horizontal Scrollbar

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 112832

(Firefox :: General, defect)

I'm using the Dom Inpector on a deeply nested html page (ie. tables inside
tables inside tables).  The "nodeName" column eventually gets filled after
clicking open the nested dom elements and the dom elements start getting
truncated with elipsis (...).  Eventually even the plus/minus can't be seen as
it goes out of the column width.  It seems the column is missing a horizontal
scroll that I believe is available on the Mozilla browser release.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open deeply nested html page
2. open dom inspector
3. attempt to navigate to the deepest element in the tree

Actual Results:  
lost the ability to continue navigating through the element tree

Expected Results:  
provided a horizontal scroll bar so that the deeply nested tree to continue to
be navigated.

An easy workaround is obviously to widen the overall size of the dom inspector
window and/or widen the nodeName column.  Though this workaround would be
limited to how much screen space / resolution the user has available.

Same behavior for SeaMonkey. Marking as dupe of bug 112832.
