[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53005] Variable editor: slow performance with large arrays

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #53005 (project octave):

What Dan is describing is very similar to the way a spreadsheet like
LibreOffice Calc works.  Say I have a long number like "123456789".  I shrink
the column that contains that number to a width I like.  The user is in
control so Calc allows the width I have set to remain, but it now changes the
display to "###" to indicate that there is not enough room do display the
actual number.  At that point, I can right-click on the column and choose
"Optimal Width" and Calc will automatically pick a correct size for display.

That's a pretty good interface.
