Hi everyone,
This is not a bug report but a feature request. Maybe not an important one,
but anyway i think would be worth the trouble.
Recently, i reported a bug related to the widget-choose window (
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=5695). The problem was that the
window didn't show the entire buffer contents, and it was impossible to see
the hidden portion, because there was no way of selecting the window and
scroll the text down.
The bug has been closed, but the problem has been resolved only partially,
because there remains one case in which we'll have the same problem: When
the option list is too large to fit in the window (or the window too small
to show the entire list).
Output from "emacs-version" command:
> "GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.3) of 2010-03-26
> on crested, modified by Debian"
>
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a graphic terminal, and resize it to (90 columns, 10 rows). This
is quite small, because the largest option list i've found right now is
quite short too.
2. start emacs with "-nw" and "-q" switches.
3. M-x customize-group <RET> killing <RET>
4. Modify a bit the "kill ring max" property.
5. Put the cursor on the associated "[State]" text and type <RET>.
6. Now you shoud see the widget-choose buffer, but showing only part of
the text (similar to the attached screenshot). And there's no way to switch
to that buffer and scroll the text.
I think that a good solution would be to generalize the implementation of
"tmm-menubar" in such way that was applicable also in this situation.
And that's all, thanks.
Dani.

With Emacs built from master, I followed these steps using xfce4 terminal
emulator.
After step 6, I typed C-M-v, as I'm used with a *Help* buffer, and I was
able
to scroll the widget-choose buffer. So I think this wishlist item is
fulfilled.
Best regards,
Mauro.

Same here (GNU Emacs 26.2 (build 1, x86_64-pc-cygwin)).

Agreed. Thanks.

PS: I filed that bug report long ago... I wanted to "enter" the
widget-choose buffer ("switch to that buffer"), but I don't think
that's something worth spending time on it. (it's not a common
problem, and anyway you've shown an alternative way of scrolling the
buffer).
