The change is not visible during dragging, i.e. the update is only visible 
after releasing mouse button.
The column width cannot be made smaller than I guess the minimum widget size of 
the button. From what I figured out
during lazytree this is not easy indeed. Maybe it is an idea to use the cell 
renderer also for the headers? Otherwise some
additional window will be necessary that clips the button widget, right?

Yes, looks nice for me also.

This vertical scrolling works now. I cannot see the problem anymore.

I guess it simply translates to how fast you can scroll. I have a new macbook 
pro and now it is „more kinetic“. But compare it
to libreoffice. I think they dynamically add rows and columns - it is more 
responsive.

Yes, for me too.

> Editing still does not work.

The behavior for editing changed. I can now click in a cell and then the cell 
is focused. Arrow keys
move the the focus up/down/left/right. In this mode typing does not work.

A double click or a second click in a focused cell makes the text editable, 
i.e. I can position
the cursor with the mouse or move the cursor with left right arrows or edit the 
text. Typing
return ends the edit mode but the change is not permanent.

When I am in this edit mode and press cursor up/down, the focused cell changes 
but I get
the following warning:

(psppire:55049): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:2634: instance 
'0x7ff68b86df70' has no handler with id ‚32768'

and the focused cell is stuck, i.e. I cannot change the focus cell via arrow 
keys. Changing focus cell by clicking is still possible.

Further I noticed that there are no ???? in some columns of the variable view.

Very nice!

Fritz
