Comment 18 for bug 189192

Stop!!! REALLY!
This is not invalid.

Have you ever heard of scrollable regions?!?!?!?!? Just make the control blocks within the tabs into scrollable regions, then if the height is too low for it to be able to fit them all there, it makes it scrollable. This lets the users be able to see the bottom of the window, even if it is scrollable. This is a papercut. Changing the type of container for a set of controls is not a big task.

And if GTK does not have a scrollable container, then Windows API just owned GTK. So, you're not helping your own cause if you continue to whine about how big of a task this is.

All that has to be done is change the containers within the tabs from a standard container type into a scrollable container type. This is doing a "Search and Replace" on a variable type and hitting recompile.
