[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53046] Variable Editor: feature request to make multiple tables visible at once.

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #16, bug #53046 (project octave):

OK, got it.  Looks good.

I created a bug report here:

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?53158

I'll probably end up finding the fix for this when I freshen the patch and
restore this QTableView/QTextEdit stack behavior.  It is probably in the same
area where the QTableView not-navigable-by keyboard bug in my patch is.  So,
if you don't want to search for the issue, I'll probably come across it.

@Rik, ha-ha, yeah software as usual.

BTW, one recent change I saw is that the QTableView view now only displays
numbers out to the size of the matrix.  That's a good change.  (See my comment
here:

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53110

)  However, as I'm using this I wonder if the numbers outside the matrix
should still be included but instead display in light red, for example (or
gray, but currently bold/normal is used for selected column and light gray
might be too much info-overload for that parameter).  The problem without the
numbers is if someone wants to extend the table by typing a number in a cell
outside the matrix it can be a guess as to which column/row is selected.  Say
the matrix is 10x10, but only five columns is displayed at once, and I want to
place a 0 at cell 1,20.  The only accurate way would be by keystroke counting
to that cell.  The way the mouse scrolls currently zips along, so no way of
using that.
