Description Will Stephenson 2009-10-29 13:59:02 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

On small screens, with large fonts and with languages with longer words, the new appletbrowser tabbar design for categories is harder to use than than the combobox in the old Add Widget dialog.  No categories are visible after All Widgets, Used Before and Running, so there is no hint that the <> arrows to scroll the tabbar can be used to see more categories, and the arrows must be clicked many times to browse all the categories.

I suggest that in the special case that the tabbar is only able to show 3 or less items, a combo box should be used instead, as it takes up a constant amount of space and lets all the categories be seen at once.
