Hello,

I don't know yet how to reliably trigger that, but it feels scary.

If that help, it happens with the view

	{karo {} ^linus/master {git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' refs/remotes/customers/karo refs/heads/karo}}

If I knew how to record a video of my screen, I'd do this. Maybe someone knows? Maybe this report is already enough?

Happens with Debian's git 1:1.7.2.3-2.2.

Best regards Uwe

Actually, I've wanted the ability to scroll left and right in the history pane for quite a while. Resorting to shrinking the fontsize and the other columns only goes so far when trying to see a list of equivalent refs. If the ability to scroll left and right can be kept that would be cool.

v/r, Neal

you can press the middle mouse button and move it left/right to scroll sideways. (This is standard for tcl/tk apps.) But this is not my problem.

I turn the scroll wheel and the window scrolls up and down (which is expected and good). But at the same time parts of the *content* of the window starts moving right and so make the (virtual) window broader.

Best regards Uwe

Interesting. On the Mac it *is* possible to scroll left and right, and it absolutely drives me nuts, so I disabled it in my private build. I guess it's ok with a mouse, where shift-wheel scrolls horizontally, but on a track-pad with two-finger scrolling, where you can scroll both horizontally and vertically with a single guesture, it is completely undesirable.

I agree. What would be ideal is a left-right scroll bar like the up-down scrollbar.
