[Oberon] Horizontal scrolling of Menu items on a Viewer in Native Oberon alpha 2.3.6

More interestingly, I use this unknown feature heavily. (To reach at Edit.Store)
Where as, I have a very bad time while doing copy paste.

Another trouble is while reading a text where the lines run a little more than user track width.
System.Grow works, but seems painful for each such lines in a text.
What if any line runs more than full screen width?
I read that horizontal scrolling is available in NO but only for picture frames or graphic frames.
I wish if text frames as well would have this.


With thanks and best regards,

Yours sincerely,
