Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 112832

(Other Applications :: DOM Inspector, defect)

Description

When using DOM Inspector in a complex web page with many conponents within others, the tree displayed in left part of DOM Inspector (Document - DOM Nodes) becomes larger and larger. As this tree doesn't have an horizontal scrollbar, it becomes very hard to see the deepest components in the tree even with a 1280x1024 screen resolution. It should be a great idea to add this scrollbar to this very usefull tool. Thanks to all for your great work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a complex HTML page (with tables within tables within tables ...). Sorry my only examples are on an intranet :o(
2. Open DOM Inspector (the behavior should be more explicit with a low screen resolution) and try to select the deepest nodes in the tree.


Actual Results:  
If your page is complex enough and the screen res is low enough, you shouldn't be able to see or select the deepest nodes from the tree.

Expected Results:  
With an horizontal scrollBar on the tree, this problem should only become a bad rememberance

This should actually be possible now that bug 212789 is fixed.

Should this be RESOLVED DUPLICATE or VERIFIED DUPLICATE as with bug 178658 and bug 114295?
