Toolbar Wrapping

Komodo is a great product.

One feature that annoys me is the fact that if I have too many buttons, the remaining buttons disappear. The toolbar used to wrap. Two ideas to fix this situation:

Allow toolbars to wrap.
Allowing for multiple rows of toolbars, allow users to put toolbars where ever they want.

Thank you.

Yes, this problem is especially noticeable with the Komodo IDE toolbar. The following bug describes the problem and reasoning of why this is the way it is in Komodo:

Could an option be put into the Preferences so that the user could turn Toolbar wrapping on or off? It's frustrating for me that the toolbars do not wrap.

(Personally, I wish Komodo would allow me to move my toolbars around like I can in other applications.)

Thank you.

You can turn on the toolbar wrapping using css. Place this in your userChrome.css file and you'll get the toolbars back.

#main-toolboxrow {
  overflow: visible !important;
  display: block !important;
}
#main-toolboxrow {
  overflow: visible !important;
  display: block !important;
}
