[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54069] GUI Command windows does not respect column width

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #54069 (project octave):

On linux Mint (Cinnamon) the "column split" seems to work pretty well.  There
is some feedback from the GUI's available real estate to the core worker
process layout mechanism (i.e., I shrink the GUI width and the number of
columns adjusts to smaller).  However, if I display something like rand(2,15),
then resize the GUI width to smaller, the previously displayed items are off
screen *and* there is no scroll bar that appears.  That's kind of bad, but
tolerable because one can just redisplay the results and it will reformat
accordingly.

In your case with Windows, apparently it isn't as nice.  There doesn't appear
to be any feedback of the available width so the core formatting mechanism is
choosing some default.  Either that, or Windows isn't properly reporting the
available pixel width (that would be the better of the two alternatives). 
This is probably programmed in Qt though, so may be the window manager's
limitation meaning there's little that could be done.
