Podcast description is not fully readable

[Nick Irvine]

Binary package hint: banshee

It would be nice to be able to read the full podcast description (the data displayed in the Description column in Podcasts view). Currently, I can find no way to do this except for expanding the column, and since the table is not horizontally scrollable, for a sufficiently long description, it would be impossible to read the entire thing. Here are a few places where it could be displayed:
* Tooltip when hovering over cell
* In the Properties dialog.

I second this request. Have you sent it to the Banshee devs?
