It used to be, long and long ago, that when you typed a long string
as a value in a table, the string "scrolled" to the left as you typed,
so that you could see what you were typing as the string kept
getting longer. On Mac OS X, and perhaps this started in an earlier
version (6? 7?), this broke, and now you are "blind" as you type a
long string once it gets too wide for the value column. It would be
nice to fix this, and while fixing it, it might be nice to add
something like the workaround suggested in my book, where a
string in a table can be viewed/edited in an inspector window of its
own.

Right! I also miss that old auto-scroll feature. Might be a function of the
underlying OS services.
