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

[Jörg]

Hi

Long line are bad for your eyes.
When jumping with your eyes from the end of one line to the beginning of the
next line you easily loose what line you were on.
That's the reason why almost all newspapers use columns.
Consider a line break when lines are longer than can be displayed in one
track.

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,
