Choice faces

Hello. The maximum size of a choice face seems to be 8 lines. Where to change this (less or more) ? When the choice contains more than 8 lines, how to scroll to see the next ones?

I suspect your problem is the size of the face that the 'choice is shown in. It is not tall enough (y-value of XxY) to display all of your choices. Try the following ... view layout [size 150x180 choice "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "0"] view layout [size 150x250 choice "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "0"] Make the choice parent-face taller.

I have a choice field with 26 choices (A...Z). Your problem (I'm guessing) is that the choice dropdown is clipped by the bottom of the panel in which it occurs. Make the panel deeper, or move your Choice closer to the top of the panel, and you'll see more choices displayed. Someone really ought to rewrite Choice so it is a wee bit more intelligent in this area, Sunanda
